Gr 6-9-In this sequel to Royally Jacked (S & S, 2004), Valerie, who lives with her father, is happy in Schwerinborg with her new boyfriend, Prince Georg. When rumors begin to fly about them, he tells her they have to cool it. On winter break, she returns to Virginia and stays with her gay mother, spends time with friends, and goes out with her old crush, David. Then she is faced with a dilemma-should she go back to Schwerinborg and pursue her relationship with Georg or remain in Virginia with David?
