What’s inside...
In 'Princess Ever After,' the sequel to 'Undercover Princess,' we follow Lottie Pumpkin and Ellie Wolf as they continue to navigate their switched identities. Lottie, an ordinary girl, has been asked by Ellie, a rebellious princess, to take on her identity at Rosewood Hall. The girls face higher stakes with threats to their safety, political intrigue, and royal duties. Themes of friendship, loyalty, and self-discovery are explored against a backdrop of fairy tale charm and contemporary drama.
