I thought Lindsey Leavitt came up with a really interesting premise for her debut. And an impact Desi makes, one royal fiasco at a time. In this hilarious, winning debut, one girl's dream of glamour transforms into something bigger: the desire to make a positive impact. Like, what do you do when a bullying older sister puts you on a heinous crash diet? Or when the tribal villagers gather to watch you perform a ceremonial dance you don't know? Or when a princess's conflicted sweetheart shows up to break things off-and you know she would want you to change his mind? Well, Desi soon discovers that subbing involves a lot more than wearing a tiara and waving at cameras. As her new agent Meredith explains, Desi has a rare magical ability: when she applies the ancient Egyptian formula "Royal Rouge," she can transform temporarily into the exact lookalike of any princess who needs her subbing services. When an immaculately dressed woman steps out of an iridescent bubble and asks you if you'd like to become a substitute princess, do youįor Desi Bascomb, who's been longing for a bit of glamour in her Idaho life, the choice is a definite C-that is, once she can stop pinching herself.
