To Catch a Prince: To Catch a Prince & The Frog Prince
Two books in one.
Stepsisters and best friends Helene Masterson and Alexis Worth could not be more different. One is preppy, one is punky; it's a wonder they get along at all. But they do agree on something: how much they love royalty. When they get the chance to travel to exotic locations like London and Paris, where actual princes live, they know this is their only shot t...more

My mom actually read this book before me and liked it. But when I read it, I had a lot of mixed emotions.
The characters were extremely unlikeable. They were too spoiled, too ungrateful and too catty to really like and understand. The book synopsis also pleaded their unbreakable friendship. But in these TWO books, they were probably only friends for 7 chapters collectively. Great friendship, huh?
While the premise was fun, I couldn't get into it that much. My favorite characters were probably Sim...more

This book was written for a teen just trying to pass the time without being COMPLETELY bored out of their mind. It wasn't amazing writing, nor was it a very original plot line, but it had just enough of a cliche touch to it to interest me into buying it, that and the fact that it had two books in one (score!). It wasn't awful to read like some school books, but it wasn't a page turner. Only took me a few days to finish because of its huge font and lack of need of thought while reading. If i hadn...more
This was a really good book! It's about two step-sisters/best friends, Helene Masterson and Alexis Worth. The book takes you through two of their summers. The first in London, England and the second in Paris, France. Alexis and Helene are total opposites. Alexis is very girly, preppy, and glamourous. Helene is artsy, funny, and has a style of her own. They may be opposites, but they couldn't live without each other. During theses girls' summer they have wonderful summer internships, stay in nice...more

I really liked these books. The plots were interesting and kept me reading and the personalities of the characters were really described really good. This book consisted of two stories. To catch a Prince and The Frog Prince.
To catch a Prince- This story is about stepsisters and best friends Alexis Worth and Helene Masterson and its their summer vacation and their going to London. Helene the punky and smart one has a summer internship at a art museum. On the plane ride she admits to Alexis the pr...more

To Catch a Prince was just as light, fluffy and pleasant a read as I expected it to be - and sometimes, that's the kind of book I really enjoy. Though it was quite an easy read (I finished it in under four hours), I thought that Gillian McKnight did a lovely job enticing me into reading about these two best friends/stepsisters and their adventures over the span of two summers.
What drew me into the story was not the plot (although that was pretty fun, especially...more

The book "To Catch a Prince" was one of my favorite books that i have read this year! In some parts of this book I think girls (and maybe guys) could possibly connect with the characters and with what is happening to them. The drama of girls, the respectability of having a job, and the importance of relationships of all kinds are some of the things that this book has to offer the youth. My favorite part of the book would have to be when Helen and her sister Alexis realize that Price William is n...more

marked it as never-will-i-ever
I was recommended this book and reading the blurb I was shocked that the author clearly does not know basic history. Paris, where actual princes live which i would expect people to know is wrong. The French do not have a royal family so they cannot have Princes. Has no one ever heard of the French Revolution, you know, where they went around chopping off people's heads.
At least Britain does have a royal family with a number of princes but seriously, France?

I really enjoyed this book and loved the chemistry between the two main characters, Alexis and Helene.It was a fun read that i conquered in only two days. I thought the first book in the two in one book was fantastic, but the second was not as exciting. Overall i think the book was great for young teens and brought back memories to when all of us used to dream of being a princess!
To Catch a Prince is a charming story about two sisters that take a trip to England. I love how this story shows that you shouldn't let anything get in the way of family. This story also makes me wish I had a sister to have all kinds of adventures with. It's a bit cliche but I loved it.

Basically what you would expect for a young adult novel about two girls trying to track down a prince they don't even know. The version I read was actually two books in one. In the first book, I found it hard to distinguish the two characters due to the writing style, enen though the girls were supposed to be complete opposites. The second book, entitled The Frog Prince, moved along a little better and was more enjoyable than the first.
*not a review*
Not exactly the read I was hoping for but still fun. It's cliché and unbelievable. It's cheesy and sometimes you may not like the characters, but ultimately it's a fun read worth checking out if you ever want a light read. Very entertaining.

Bleh. To be honest, this book is really implausible. Sixteen-year-olds are not going to walk into the offices of British Vogue and score an internship. Sorry. I'm sure I would have enjoyed this novel more if I were fourteen.
soo i thought that Gillian McKnight painted Prince William to be a sex fiend....and made Helene and Alexis very materialistic. i don't think this book is worth the money...get it from your local library instead.

I think the first book was amazing i am on the second book it a two in one book it is a romatic teenage love story for hopeless romantics like me heheheh
This book-well, two books in one, really-was quite an amazing adventure.
The characters are great. Their personalities are exhibited perfectly!

Eh. It was entertaining but I don't think it was anything special.
Kind of outdated with the girls chasing Prince William and all...

A cute book for preteens. I love the two main characters. Complete opposites but they found some way to be BFFs.
overal very good two books personally i like the first one better light fun read for the hopeless romantic in all of us
Loved it!! Very entertaining all the way through. It gets a little sexy in some parts but nothing too bad.
What an awesome book! I love the royal family in England - I wish I could have found it earlier!!
It was not the best. It was a little TOO much fantasy. So it was horrible.

It was kinda dragged out too much. the first part was good, but the 2nd book i couldn't manage to get through.
This book is so funny and cute. I love Laszlo and Helene together.
TOTALLY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!!!!
cute, but sometimes the girls were real brats.
Possibly the worst book I've ever read.
Helene Masterson and Alexis Worth intend to have the summer of a lifetime. Best friends and stepsisters, they have done everything together, and spending an entire summer in London without parents seems like the best way to spend a summer. But when one sister makes a bet with the other, the strength of their friendship is tested as both girls try desperately to win the bet. This summer, Helene and Alexis will learn the importance of friendship, and have to make a choice between what is right and...more

This book was amazing but I don't think I will do my project on it because it wasn't a very descriptive book...
