family is actually exiled royalty from a small country called Rovenia. When the Rovenians overcome Communist rule and decide to reinstate the
monarchy, Alex''s father and mother agree to return and become king and queen. And, Alex becomes
Prince Alexei.Being a prince is the last thing Alex wants. He doesn''t want to leave his home, or his friends, or his pet horse. He has to deal with a lot of royal protocol.

fun as possible. Unfortunately, her
kind of fun is the kind that could get Alex into
trouble. The kind of trouble that could destroy the new monarchy.Alex soon learns that being a prince is more than an inconvenience. It also has danger. Some people don''t want his family there. A tragic series of events shows Alex just how serious his new role in life is.
