Book Synopsis

The Royal Family must learn to live like common people in this hilarious Barrington Stoke debut from the author of The Accidental Prime Minister.

Unlucky Bertie has only gone and gambled away the entire family fortune. It's the last in a long line of disasters, and nobody is going to save the Montgomery family this time. But this is no ordinary family – this is the royal family, and Bertie is the Queen's brother. So it's goodbye to the palace and hello to a little house on King Street for these royals. Who knew getting jobs and fitting in with the neighbours could be so hard? It's time to sink or swim! A hilarious Barrington Stoke debut from Tom McLaughlin, author of The Accidental Prime Minister. Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers aged 8+
