review 1: Eleven-year-old Claire travels to England for what is supposed to be her favorite cousin's fairy tale wedding to a prince, but Claire has more in mind than her role as a junior bridesmaid in the biggest wedding of the century. She's never met the prince, and is concerned that he may not be good enough for her cousin. Worse, someone is trying to sabotage the wedding. Is it Pandora, the junior bridesmaid with the bad attitude...or someone else? Add in a cute boy and plenty of mishaps as Claire negotiates the customs of a new country, and Cordially Uninvited is a royally fun read.A cute story with plenty of fancy details thrown in, this book should appeal to fans of weddings, England, and all things royal. Claire is a character to root for, as she genuinely wants what's best ... morefor her cousin -- even if it means interrupting the wedding of the century. The romantic elements add a little fun without being over-the-top for the age group.
review 2: The prince of England has chosen a bride, and it's Claire's cousin, Belle! As a junior bridesmaid, Claire is full of nerves; snooty Pandora, another bridesmaid, makes things worse by trying to ruin the wedding. Claire's best friend, Evie, is a stalwart supporter whose wit via texting and Skype keeps Claire on an even keel. Comparisons with the recent royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton are inevitable. Some upper elementary and middle school girls will enjoy this light read for the royalty, romance (just a bit), and even the evil Pandora. less
