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

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
