Description
Princess Patricia Priscilla's 16th birthday ball is supposed to be the highlight of her royal life. But she's bored with it all. In a surprising move, she adopts a peasant disguise and escapes - for a week. Along the way, she gets into all sorts of mischief, including a run-in with some rather unappealing suitors. In this humorous tale, Lois Lowry turns the traditional princess story on its head. With her signature wit and charm, she shows that being a princess isn't all it's cracked up to be. And sometimes, being ordinary is exactly what you need. With illustrations by Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer, "The Birthday Ball" is a laugh-out-loud tale of mistaken identity, young love, and finding your own path in life.
