Hear Ye, Here Ye, this is a book for all princess lovers! The Princess and the Three Knights by Karen Kingsbury has everything a girl could want; a beautiful princess, a handsome knight, the king who is trying to pawn his daughter off to the knight who best proves himself, beautiful illustrations, and of course a pink cover with sparkles and glitter! Ahhhh!!! Haha, but really the story was predictable but cute. I really did enjoy the illustrations and I thought the illustrator made the princess look stunningly beautiful. As a lover of princesses myself, I fell in love with this book and would gladly give it to any little girl.

Trey's dad is a master con artist, and Trey has just been promoted to full-partner. Their new scheme for the next big score brings them to the affluent suburb of Boxelder, TN where Trey's dad has cooked up a fake electric car company for investors to buy into. The only problem is that Trey is starting to grow tired of moving around and never putting down roots, especially after forming a fast friendship with Logan and developing a crush on Kaylee, a socially conscious girl in his class. As Trey longs for a normal life, is there any way he can convince his dad to get out of the family business? Gordon Korman is a perennial favorit...
