A royally funny dog story from the best-selling author of THE PUG WHO WANTED TO BE UNICORN.

When Rosie sneaks into the palace, she quickly makes a new friend - a young princess named Pippa! The princess's parents - the soon-to-be-crowned king and queen - promised their daughter a new pet when they moved to the palace. But a scruffy stray isn't what they had in mind . . .

Pippa's grumpy nanny and the posh royal dogs make Rosie feel like she doesn't belong at the palace. But what Rosie lacks in breeding, she makes up for in street-smarts. There's a mysterious man lurking around the palace, and Rosie is sure he's up to no good. With coronation celebrations coming up, Rosie is determined to keep Princess Pippa - and the crown jewels - safe.

Can Rosie prove to the royal family that you don't need to be a pedigree pooch to be a princess's pet?
