Princess Megan by Trisha Magraw
2.0
I remember thinking that this was ridiculous and unbelievable when I was the target age for it, and it is indeed. The only thing that saves it from a one-star rating is the solid framing story, which involves Megan's frustration over scheduling conflicts in her single-parent family. This part of the story is very realistic, and I appreciate how Megan and her mom figure out a compromise and connect with each other.
However, even though that is nice, the bulk of the story is just Megan's journey in a vaguely history-inspired fantasy land. The story should have gone all fantasy, instead of creating a laughably inaccurate tie to medieval France, and the story has lots of pacing issues and weird elements. I was thoroughly unimpressed with it when I originally read it, and I still think it's the worst installment in the series.
