Annotation: Julia and Princess Carina trade places so Carina can go to a rock concert.
Summary: Princess Carina is going to Julia’s school to give a talk. When she gets there, she finds a girl that looks just like her. They trade places so that Carina can go to a rock concert. Then, Carina gets carted off to a place that is far from LA. Julia will have to go to Vineland, Carina’s homeland without the actual princess. Will Carina get back soon? Or will Julia be recognized as an imposter?
Critique: Princess and the Pauper gave the classic book a new twist with a dash of modern life in it. The adventure was intense too with Julia almost getting kicked out of her house and Carina being taken to a faraway destination. There was action and romance, which is a good balance. Both of the characters had different personalities too so you can’t get them mixed up.
