Amazing book and I love how they struggle to make the L.P (Little Princess) feel at home! I definitely rate this book five stars! I enjoy how they teach the evil nanny a lesson! Go Mary Anne! I hope you will enjoy this book as much as I do! Happy reading! -Claudia Kishi

Princess Victoria is coming in!

When some British diplomats (a little odd for a story, I must say) come to live in Stoneybrook, Mary Anne is hired as a companion. This is far-fetched but highly entertaining. Look for Princes Victoria in more books, like the European Super Special, when the BSC goes to London and visit her. Victoria is one of the most interesting child characters yet in the BSC books.
Great Thanksgiving story!

Timid, sensitive Mary Anne is baby-sitting an actual PRINCESS...a little girl who is used to being waited on hand and foot, complains endlessly about her "frightfully" old "fusspot" of a nanny and is, to put it mildly, blunt. Mary Anne does a commendable job with her, attempting to crack her royal "shell." I admired how patient Mary Anne was with her. While the other kids were quick to dismiss Victoria as a spoiled snob, perceptive Mary Anne saw a lonely insecure girl who needed a lot of love. I also loved how Ann Martin interwove a subplot of Mary Anne's growing closeness with her stepmother Sharon, who misses Dawn. What a kind heart Mary Anne has to arrange that Thanksgiving surprise for Sharon. I like how close Mary Anne and Sharon have become. Mary Anne desperately needed a mother and I'm glad she has somebody as wonderful as Sharon. I wish I had a daughter or baby-sitter like Mary Anne!!!
