When a new kid comes to Queen's school riding a broken bike and wearing run-over shoes, he immediately becomes the butt of everyone's jokes.

Queen is pretty. But nobody likes her except her kitty."
 
Queen's house-the biggest one on 33rd Street--looks just like a castle, and in her bedroom, she has dozens of beautiful dresses and crowns.  Queen thinks she's a real queen, and she treats everyone, even her teacher, like her royal subject.

When a new kid comes to Queen's school, riding a broken bike and wearing smelly, worn-out clothes, Queen joins her classmates in making fun of him.  Her parents insist she be nice to Leroy, but Queen doesn't see why she should. Leroy doesn't just stink; Queen thinks he tells lies-whoppers in fact.  And when he says he's an African prince from Senegal, Queen makes it her mission to prove Leroy is an impostor. <BR style="mso-special-character: line-break">
But as she gets closer to discovering Leroy's real story, Queen learns the unexpected from her broken bike boy: what being a good friend and "happily ever after" really mean.
