SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL, USA"Outrageously funny and a serious contender for the teen chick-lit throne." 0́4 THE BOOKSELLER on Pulling Princes.Editorial Review From School Library Journal"Featuring an American teen at a British boarding school, O'Connell's Calypso Chronicles blend appealing components of such popular series as Gossip Girls and the Princess Diaries. In this instalment, Calypso is at the top of her game, as much in her fencing technique as in her romance with HRH Freds. Then her mother arrives unannounced, and slapstick machinations ensue as Calypso attempts to juggle fencing, Freds, and Mom, who may or may not be filing for divorce. A fencing and British-slang glossary helps to bridge the transatlantic gap, and there is enough moony romance to appease fans drawn by the series' Cinderella premise."
