Cordially UnInvited by Jennifer Roy
Amazon Summary: Claire Gross, age eleven, might live in sleepy upstate New York, but she’s about to be a junior bridesmaid in the wedding of the century! Claire’s cousin Belle is engaged to the Prince of England, and Claire and her mom are heading to London for the royal ceremony.
Getting whisked away on a trans-Atlantic jet and thrown into a whirlwind of wedding activities would be a dream for any other girl, but Claire isn’t sure this is a match made in heaven. To make matters worse, another junior bridesmaid seems determined to sabotage the event! Can Claire put aside her own misgivings to save the day? What if there’s no such thing as happily ever after?
From award-winning author Jennifer Roy, this is a hilarious, heartfelt story about a girl who discovers that fairy tales may not exist, but sometimes there’s still a little magic to be found in real life.
My Review: This was a really really good book, though the person who was trying to break up the couple (Belle and the prince) was obvious and predictable. I like that Belle adores her little cousin, and that there is technology like Skype because whenever I used to read a book with royalty, there was no technology! Of course there is some in real life. And most of the kids are really nice, which is good because Claire becomes good friends with some of them. It is also funny because the words cordially uninvited are only used once, and that is when... Oh wait! I won't spoil that part. The actual wedding is short, though, so that is something the author could have fixed. Luckily, the preparations are very fun and exciting, even "the dress", and Claire gets to be very pampered with makeup and hair supplies that even I cannot imagine. This book is a bit of a mystery too, so check it out if you are even a little bit interested in them. Overall, this book deserves 4.5 stars! I can't wait for the second one to come out!
