When the timid Princess of 8th Street reluctantly agrees to go to the pleasure grounds (the playground), she finds herself dubbed "it" by the lords and ladies (other children). She finds her inner princess strength, earning their respect and friendship. A sparkly cover belies mundane interior illustrations, but readers navigating troubles with friendship and shyness will identify with this royal highness.
