This third installment of the series brings the reader to the home of Emmaline Cayley and her family, and the beginning of their newest adventure. Emmaline and her newly adopted family member, the ferocious Princess Purnah of Chiligrit, successfully escaped from the terrible school for girls they both attended. Now they must take a "holiday" in order to escape from the authorities intent on returning the Princess to the school. Thus begins the new adventure for this odd assortment of family and friends.

It's a fun read - it would be a good choice for parents and kids to read together at bedtime. Reviewed by Kim Shults
