In which Kristina, the young princess of Sweden, is being raised by her loving aunt. Her father's wish was that she would learn to be a prince (instead of a princess), and she loves it! She and her cousins live, learn, and play together. But then her insane mother (who insisted on sleeping next to her husband's corpse for a year) comes back and wants Kristina to live with her! Kristina relunctantly agrees and her mother's first reaction is to start sobbing all over her, then she tells her she NOT very pretty. Poor Kristina! Will she be able to get away from her weird mom?
This book is like her diary. I liked this book a lot because I had never heard of Kristina before. She does not want to be a princess, but a prince, and inspired by Queen Elizabeth, she plans to never marry. She never did marry and abdicated the throne after 10 years of ruling. I loved reading about this tomboyish girl.
This is in the Royal Diaries series.
Recommended for: people who like strong-minded girls, loving aunts, and wise teachers.
