The Whipping Boy by Sid Fleischman

4.0

This is a humorous short book that is entertaining and yet has an underlying moral. The author initially paints the prince as such a brat that it is quite remarkable to see the transformation that occurs by the end of the book. The humor is mostly at the expense of the two bumbling thieves and makes for a light hearted adventure. I'd recommend this book to any reader over 8 years old and especially those that like a humorous adventure.
