Product Description
Synopsis
Calypso begins term facing the dilemma: who does she fancy? Freddie (the prince) or Billy (the fit older boy who rescued her from a dog attack) - or both! While text-flirting with them over the summer break was fun; she knows she has to choose and decides to make the big decision before the La Fiesta Ball, It's the first ball her parents have allowed her to attend and the pressure is on to find the perfect partner. Billy may be older and have the hero-persona working for him, but Freddie is the one who sets her pulse racing. Unfortunately Freddie reveals he won't be attending due to a much grander fabulous ball at the palace with all the other European royals - a more or less Annual-Euro-Royal-Bash. What can Calypso do? And this is on top of all the other things she has to contend with - school, friends and sharing a room with the vile Honey O'Hare...

My new favourite book,
This review is from: Stealing Princes: The Calypso Chronicles (Paperback)
Darlings, what can I say? This book gives an absolutely fabulous look at the lifestyles of the rich and famous. Let's call it an insider's view for plebbies shall we!Well maybe a bit too much focus on fencing is the only problem, but darling I wish I had thought of this idea. A 4 word review; OTT RICH GIRLS WORLD

Laugh Out Loud Funny!,
By Erika Sorocco - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stealing Princes (Calypso Chronicles) (Hardcover)
Fourteen-year-old Calypso Kelly (otherwise known as "The American Freak) has never felt as if she fit in with the rich, British girls who attend school with her at St. Augustine's English Boarding School. Sure, she's got a few close friends, but some of the other students are SO stuck-up. Like Honey O'Hare, Calypso's worst enemy, and dorm mate for the year. Honey has despised Calypso from the very first day she arrived at St. Augustine's, and has been out to saboatage her forever. Like it's Calypso's fault that she's more than a year younger than every other girl in her grade, and she doesn't have as much expendable cash. Anyway, Calypso has been flirting with two very fit (hot) boys over text messages all summer. And when Honey finds out, she decides to ruin the relationships that Calypso has created. Including the one with her boy toy Prince Freddie. Unfortunately, Calypso has no idea what's going on, and when she turns to her friends for help, she realizes that they're too caught up with their new pal, a real life Princess, to care about her petty problems. This is sure to be one super tough semester at St. Augustine's.
Tyne O'Connell truly has the writing chops to pen stories about a group of rich, snooty teenage girls attending an ultra-chic private school. Her characters are hilarious, and truly bring the story to life, what with their catty viciousness and obsessiveness over how they look. Once again, Calypso and the crazy predicaments will keep readers on the edge of their seats laughing out loud while reading this book, and for days after. I can't wait for the next installment about Calypso and her crazy friends, as this book leaves quite a cliffhanger. A must read!

steals your heart,
By kittycat "KC" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stealing Princes (Calypso Chronicles) (Hardcover)
Calypso is back...after a summer in America with Star and Georgina, she returns to St. Augustine in the middle of two text romances: Prince Freddie and Billy! However, she finds out she has to share a room with evil Honey O'Hare and aloof rich girl Portia, while Georgina and Star get to room together with a real princess, Indie. Calypso is off to a rough start. All her friends drop out of latin, leaving her alone. She feels like Star and Georgina are drifting away from her....but she makes friends with Indie and Portia, and everything goes better. Then she makes a mistake and alienates herself from everyone. Freddie isn't texting her, and Billy is acting weird. Is Freddie secretly seeing Portia? Will everyone get to go to the royal ball with Freddie except for her? And why is Honey now the only person who will talk to her? Will Calypso get her friends back, get her guy, and be able to keep up her fencing?

Hilarious and fun.,
By Good Advice - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stealing Princes (Calypso Chronicles) (Hardcover)
This book will make you laugh out loud. But it's funny in this British, sophisticated, sublime way. Over the top, yet understated. Honey O'Hare has to be the most outrageous mean girl ever. I just love Calypso. Can't say enough about this book.
