Kirkus Reviews Princess Viola is great at skateboarding and karate-chopping, but sheandrsquo;s lousy at the royal wave, walk, and waltz. The king and queen are not pleased. Whatandrsquo;s a princess to do? Attend the skill-polishing Camp Princess, of course. In the end, itandrsquo;s a good thing Viola is made of tougher stuff. Who else will save the day when the green dragon comes along?
