Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7-10–In this sequel to Pulling Princes (Bloomsbury, 2004), Calypso, an almost 15-year-old California girl who is attending boarding school in England, looks forward to continuing her budding romance with Prince Freddie–until her archenemy and current roommate, Honey O'Hare, begins to meddle in her affairs, convincing her that their other roomie, beautiful and refined Lady Portia, has her sights set on the royal heir. Told with humor through Calypso's eyes, this novel is filled with characters who are only concerned about boys, the up-and-coming in society, and being catty to one another. This book will be best understood by readers familiar with the first installment, which gives more background on the narrator's style and why she struggles so much to fit into this upper-class crowd. Both titles can be described as British spin-offs of Cecily von Ziegesar's Gossip Girl series (Little, Brown), complete with the status symbols and adultlike activities for posh and privileged teenagers. Purchase only where Pulling Princes is popular.–Nicole Marcuccilli Mills, Glenview Public Library, IL

From Booklist

Gr. 7-10. In another entry in the Calypso Chronicles series, 14-year-old Calypso, who is American, is back in England for another year at St. Augustine's, an elite English boarding school. This is a big year for her: her first ball, preparation for fencing tryouts for the Olympic team, and boys (she is torn between Crown Prince Freddie and rich-kid Billy). Unfortunately, one of Calypso's roommates, snippy, snobby Honey O'Hare, has it in for her, and only her good friends can rescue her from what Honey has planned. The boarding school setup provides some fun--, although Calypso's jealous whine is occasionally wearing. The fencing vocabulary and the British terms that pepper the story are defined in welcome glossaries. Give this to fans of Princess Mia and Georgia Nicholson as well as to readers of O'Connell's previous Pulling Princes (2004). Cindy Welch

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh Out Loud Funny!, July 7, 2005
By Erika Sorocco (Southern California, USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Fourteen-year-old Calypso Kelly (otherwise known as "The American Freak) has never felt as if she fit in with the rich, British girls who attend school with her at St. Augustine's English Boarding School. Sure, she's got a few close friends, but some of the other students are SO stuck-up. Like Honey O'Hare, Calypso's worst enemy, and dorm mate for the year. Honey has despised Calypso from the very first day she arrived at St. Augustine's, and has been out to saboatage her forever. Like it's Calypso's fault that she's more than a year younger than every other girl in her grade, and she doesn't have as much expendable cash. Anyway, Calypso has been flirting with two very fit (hot) boys over text messages all summer. And when Honey finds out, she decides to ruin the relationships that Calypso has created. Including the one with her boy toy Prince Freddie. Unfortunately, Calypso has no idea what's going on, and when she turns to her friends for help, she realizes that they're too caught up with their new pal, a real life Princess, to care about her petty problems. This is sure to be one super tough semester at St. Augustine's.

Tyne O'Connell truly has the writing chops to pen stories about a group of rich, snooty teenage girls attending an ultra-chic private school. Her characters are hilarious, and truly bring the story to life, what with their catty viciousness and obsessiveness over how they look. Once again, Calypso and the crazy predicaments will keep readers on the edge of their seats laughing out loud while reading this book, and for days after. I can't wait for the next installment about Calypso and her crazy friends, as this book leaves quite a cliffhanger. A must read!

5.0 out of 5 stars steals your heart, January 5, 2006
Calypso is back...after a summer in America with Star and Georgina, she returns to St. Augustine in the middle of two text romances: Prince Freddie and Billy! However, she finds out she has to share a room with evil Honey O'Hare and aloof rich girl Portia, while Georgina and Star get to room together with a real princess, Indie. Calypso is off to a rough start. All her friends drop out of latin, leaving her alone. She feels like Star and Georgina are drifting away from her....but she makes friends with Indie and Portia, and everything goes better. Then she makes a mistake and alienates herself from everyone. Freddie isn't texting her, and Billy is acting weird. Is Freddie secretly seeing Portia? Will everyone get to go to the royal ball with Freddie except for her? And why is Honey now the only person who will talk to her? Will Calypso get her friends back, get her guy, and be able to keep up her fencing?

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and fun., June 30, 2005
By Good Advice (NY, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This book will make you laugh out loud. But it's funny in this British, sophisticated, sublime way. Over the top, yet understated. Honey O'Hare has to be the most outrageous mean girl ever. I just love Calypso. Can't say enough about this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just as Fun and Engaging as the First
The second in a series of four (so far). This book has more depth to it than others you might compare it to (Princess Diaries, Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging, etc). Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Laugh out loud funny
I read this book in 3 days. What a blast. The British girls really know boys -- but it's the girls who are so hilarious. Don't miss this one this summer.
