Apparently there are several sequels availabe online. I know what I'll be doing for the next few days!
I reread this yesterday, about 20 years after the first time. I'm glad I went to the trouble of getting it on interlibrary loan, because even though it was a little different than I remembered (I forgot the first half or so), it was just as good as I remembered. I plan to read it out loud to my children during our next long drive.
When Damion Templeton, Viscount Woodhurst, commissions Alix Adams, a young, penniless schoolteacher, to pose as his fiancée until his grandmother dies, he has no idea that his aunt is not dying and that the schoolteacher will steal his heart in this historical romance set in 18th-century England.
Advice on how to administer & record high school to improve chances of college admittance. Includes frequent examples and extra resources at the end of each chapter. I can see it being very helpful. It was clear and gave options instead of just saying “this is the way.”
I rarely find a book that is both extremely practical and absolutely hilarious, but this one is both. I want a copy!
Real pirates are nasty people, so this is obviously a work of fiction, but it's a fun one. The princess is flighty and mischievous, but she has a brain and a kind heart. The pirate is strong and brave. The characters are likable and fun to read. The plot concentrates more on the light-hearted elements and less on the villain, but the only plot holes I found were minor enough to ignore in favor of the excellent writing.
Has one of the better hotel listings. Has very good listings for what-else-to-do in California. Good humorous writing. If you just need a description of rides at various places & what to expect, this is fully adequate & helpful. If you need a plan to minimize standing in line at DL, this is not the best.
Very informative, with good tips & suggested schedules. Includes nice guide summaries for things like hotels, restaurants, & rides. Does not have good descriptions of which rides chickens should avoid, though.
Mostly adequate descriptions of rides. Includes a line-minimizing plan for toddlers & for bigger kids. Very good basic descriptions. The first chapter of this book very helpful, with games to play while you wait in line! It is very good at identifying rides that shouldn't be ridden by chickens of various types (those afraid of heights or spinning or roller coasters, etc), which I find very helpful. If you aren't sure if you want to ride something, this is probably the best book for that purpose.
Great for Los Angeles & very amusing. Not so good for Disneyland. (The analysis of California Adventure was worth a chuckle, though.)
