Calypso Chronicles

review 1: A peep through the key hole of Britain's Elite boarding schools - Based on St Mary’s Ascot where many European royals attend, & Eton College where both Prince Harry & William were educated. These books are like being let in on the sensational secret life of Britain’s aristocracy. After four years as the school misfit, Calypso Kelly has finally thrown off her label of American Freak and joined the in-crowd: the daughters and sons of British and Europe’s Royals & Rock Stars. In a mad world of dorm raids, midnight feasts and escapes to Pullers Woods that separates the two schools, the stakes are high. But while her friends spend their time posting YouTube clips and manipulating the media with social networking, Calypso has won the national fencing trails and managed... more to pull Prince Freddie himself. When HRH (Freds) does the unthinkable and breaks up with Calypso, it sets in motion a school-wide plan for a Royal Counter Dump. Can Calypso win Freddie back just to break his heart?All is fair in love and war . . . except, of course, if you’re in love with a prince.“Funny exposé of It-girlschool life.” ELLE GIRL UK “Briget Jones for the early teen set.”- WASHINGTON POST USA “Budding Anglophiles ….will soak up the flood of upper-class British culture in this book. Fans of Cecily von Ziegesar’s “Gossip Girl” series and Zoey Dean’s “A-List” series (both Little, Brown) should enjoy it”.– WASHINGTON COUNTY COOPERATIVE LIBRARY SERVICES Give this to fans of Princess Mia and Georgia Nicholson as well as to readers of O’Connell’s previous Pulling Princes (2004). BOOKLIST, USA It is sure to have fans of the previous novels rolling on the floor laughing their royal crowns off. SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, USA
review 2: I picked up this series because it was recommended for fans of Louise Rennison's Georgia Nicholson series, which is one of my favorites. In comparison to Rennison's series, this series was a bit of a let-down. As a stand alone series without that comparison, though, I probably would have liked it better. Oh well. The series lagged a bit in each book, and where 9/10 of the series is focused on a prince, the prince doesn't even have a part in its conclusion, which I thought was strange. I'm also confused by the ending of the series itself. Dumping Princes is the last book I can find in the series, but it doesn't quite feel resolved. less
