Gr 6 Up—This series follows seemingly typical American teenagers as they discover they are part of the royal Valmont family from the small (and imaginary) European nation of Evonia. In Next in Line, Carly travels to Evonia after learning that she is royalty and in line to someday be queen. While she is initially excited, she struggles with being away from her American family and the newfound attention she receives as a national figurehead. Noah is shocked to learn his mother has inherited the title of Duchess of Rotherham in Royal Pain. When his family travels to Evonia for the summer, Noah begins to develop feelings for Tori, who is not part of an elite family, against his grandmother's wishes. VERDICT Hi-lo readers at a fourth grade level will enjoy these fish-out-of-water stories about ordinary teens grappling with the wealth and formalities that accompany unexpected royal duties.
