Growing Up Royal Reviews

Chock-full of anecdotes ... the approach is smartly gossipy, well-researched and uninflammatory ... enticing charts and sidebars.
This offers an interesting look at the upside and downside of royal life, punctuated by numerous kid-oriented anecdotes.--Ilene Cooper"Booklist" (09/01/2001)
Does a good job of describing the real life of the royals ... fascinating information and wonderful color pictures.--Sherri Forgash Ginsberg"Kliatt" (01/01/2002)
Being born a prince or princess is more about being a good public figure than about fun.--Kim Harris"School Library Journal" (11/01/2001)
More than just a superficial biography, this offers an interesting look at the upside and downside of royal life, punctuated by numerous kid-oriented anecdotes.--Ilene Cooper"Booklist" (09/01/2001)
Billinghurst's light tone is filled with gentle humor, packing a surprising amount of information into the text.--Debbie Earl"VOYA [Voice of Youth Advocates]" (04/01/2002)
Middle schoolers will be eager to read this inside look at childhood among the British royals.--Patricia Beddoe"Book Report" (03/01/2002)
A fun, breezy read that pierces the royal armor just enough for a revealing peak inside.--Sara Pearce"Cincinnati Enquirer" (08/14/2001)
Conveys the reality that being born a prince or princess is more about being a good public figure than about fun, frolic, and having it all.--Kim Harris"School Library Journal" (11/01/2001)
Growing Up Royal is a refreshing change from most adult royal biographies, which are often tediously correct or suspiciously censorious. Instead, Saskatoon author Jane Billinghurst immediately engages her readers by putting them in the situation of the royal offspring. Using [a] personal and humorous approach, the author is able to introduce plenty of information about royal families...and still keep the reader feeling personally involved. She also includes plenty of anecdotes showing the lighter and more human side of growing up royal... Sidebars contain a considerable amount of useful information on everything from royal residences to correct titles for palace servants. There are also two eight pages sections of colour photos plus an appendix giving the names and situation of members of ten European royal families. Suitable for grades four and up, this book could well be popular with older students, especially as it contains extra information on popular Prince William, the latest royal heart-throb. Subtitled Life in the Shadow of the British Throne, this is a lively and entertaining account of what it is like to be born royal. Highly Recommended.--Helen Norrie"Canadian Materials" (01/04/2002)
