The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen

I truly loved this book and its sequels. I honestly didn't expect to enjoy it but it soon became one of my favorites. It is a unique book that is ever better the second time around (if you have read it you know exactly why I say that). This book is full of surprises and excitement. You start expecting one thing and another thing entirely happens, and even when you do manage to guess what is going to happen you still find yourself shocked and amazed when it happens. I can't stress how great this book is.

Sage is a tricky, sly, and humorous orphan boy from a foreign country He doesn't really fit in anywhere and is always causing trouble. One day a wealthy man by the name of Bevin Connor buys him and takes him and three other orphans, all with similar features but very different personalities, to his home with unknown, secret plans. Soon Sage and the others learn his plans. Bevin wants to groom them all to be flawless gentleman, and more than that he wants to make one of him a false prince to take the place of the long lost prince Jaren after the death of the royal family. The orphans not chosen are certian to die. Will Sage use his skills and cleverness to become Bevin's prince? Or will he fail and die? Most importantly, how will Bevin use the prince he choses?

This story is intense, dramatic, funny, and exciting. I wouldn't have given it 5 stars if I didn't believe whole heatedly that it was an amazing story. Read it and let me know what you think!
