Duchess Swan and Lizzie Hearts are roommates at Ever After High. While their personalities are very different, they bond over not quite fitting in with the other Royals. Lizzie, however, has one thing that Duchess doesn't: a happily-ever-after at the end of her story.

While Lizzie and the other princesses train for the day when they will rule their kingdoms, Duchess is torn between her role as the perfect, dutiful princess and her rebellious ambition to be a queen. When both girls are selected to attend General Villainy class, Duchess sees an opportunity to be a rebel while following the rules. But can she play a prank on her roomie to ace the class? Find out if Duchess' desire to change her destiny will make her Ever After High's Next Top Villain!

        November 1, 2014
        The Ever After High franchise begun by Shannon Hale with The Storybook of Legends (2013) continues with a new companion series and new author.Ever After High student princess Duchess Swan (daughter of the Swan Queen) is proud of her perfect grades and smooth ballet moves, and she is trying to come to terms with the fact that she won't have a "Happily Ever After" life but is destined to become merely a swan, albeit a royal one. Her roommate, fellow princess Lizzie Hearts, is the daughter of the Queen of Hearts of Wonderland. Duchess envies Lizzie her confidence and her future, since her foretold destiny does include a happy ending. What's more, Daring Charming, the ultrahandsome blond prince and crush object of every girl in the school-including Duchess-has an unrequited thing for Lizzie. The actual plot is pushed forward as Lizzie, Duchess and a few more students in General Villainy class battle to reach the honor of becoming the titular "Next Top Villain." As in the previous books, humor and puns ("What the hex?") are generously sprinkled like fairy dust throughout the story. Garnering much of the humor here is Sparrow Hood, Robin Hood's laid-back, soul-patched son, who is constantly riffing (both guitar and jokes). Readers will be mystified and perhaps frustrated that Duchess is so gaga over the empty-headed, narcissistic prince, but perhaps she will come to her swan senses in the next installment. Another clever, comical story filled with fairy-tale characters' teen progeny. (Fantasy. 8-12)

        January 1, 2015
        Grades 3-5 Starring the popular line of fairy-tale dolls, the Ever After High series has only gained in fame since its debut, The Storybook of Legends (2013). Here the focus is Duchess Swan, daughter of Odette, from Swan Lake. She's destined to turn into a swan at the end of her tale, but she wants to do more than just fulfill her duty, which would mean giving up her dream of becoming a ballet dancer and living the rest of her life as a bird. But not participating in her story would make her a Rebel, a character who refuses to follow his or her story line. She's torn between good and evil, and her class in general villainy doesn't help matters. There's a heavy focus on girly themes, such as princesses, froufrou dresses, and so on, as well as destiny, particularly the kind featuring a charming prince. There's a little leavening humor sprinkled throughout as well, and girls already in love with the series will likely crave this and future books by Selfors.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2015, American Library Association.)
