When the Queen’s brother gambles away the family fortune, the royal family are forced to live in a small house on a normal street and live life how most people do.
Unlucky Bertie has only gone and gambled away the entire family fortune. It’s the last in a long line of disasters, and nobody is going to save the Montgomery family this time. But this is no ordinary family – this is the royal family, and Bertie is the Queen’s brother. So it’s goodbye to the palace and hello to a little house on King Street for these royals. Who knew getting jobs and fitting in with the neighbours could be so hard? It’s time to sink or swim!
Particularly suitable for struggling, reluctant or dyslexic readers.
