About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their child is displaying a sense of entitlement, struggling to adjust to a new school environment, or needs a gentle lesson in humility. It serves as a humorous mirror for children who think the world should revolve around them, providing a safe way to discuss social dynamics and the importance of contributing to a community rather than just demanding from it. The story follows Adele Helene, a twelve year old French aristocrat from the 1700s who is magically transported to modern day America. Expecting the Lexington family and her new sixth grade classmates to treat her like royalty, she faces a hilarious and humbling reality check. Through her fish out of water experiences, Adele learns about empathy, accountability, and the value of true friendship. It is an accessible, lighthearted read for ages 8 to 12 that turns a behavioral lesson into a comedic adventure.
