Royally Jacked by Niki Burnham

Back/Inside Cover:
Valerie's life is pretty good. While she's not the most popular girl in school, she does have decent grades, great friends, and a potential boyfriend. All a girl could want.
Then her mother announces that (1) she's gay, and (2) she's leaving Valerie's dad for her girlfriend. Just when Valerie is getting over this bombshell, her father tells her he's gotten a new job working for the royal family of some obscure European country.
Valerie's would has come unglued. She can either stay in Virginia with her mom and her über-organized, veggie-burger-eating girlfriend, or go with her dad, leaving everything she knows for some place she's never heard of. Valerie opts to go, and quickly discovers that it was a mistake-until she meets the prince, and all bets are off!

My Thoughts:
This was a very good book. Not one of my favorite books from the cartoon series, but still a good read. It was a lot quicker than I had anticipated it to be, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. I was a little disappointed that there wasn't even more about the prince and the relationship there, but whatever, I will continue to insist that it was good. So yeah. Good read.

Recommendations for...:
Teen girls. Preferably 15 or 16 to relate to the characters, but other high school ages work. No boys on this one, it's pretty girly in a couple places!
