In this third series entry, almost-thirteen-year-old Princess Olivia is dealing with many dramas, including a first crush, a know-it-all cousin, becoming an aunt, and a class trip chaperoned by uber-opinionated Grandmère. This quick read lightly touches on real-world problems (e.g., refugees, dictators) but also includes plenty of tween concerns (crushes, gossip, parties). The entertaining book includes journal-like prose, text messages, lists, and black-and-white illustrations.
