The Rapping Princess (Hardback)Here is a story that everyone should know. It's the tale of a princess named Shiloh. She lived in a kingdom, not far from yours,in a grand house with a swimming pool and fourteen floors. I know that sounds too big but here's the thing: her mother and father were the Queen and King. Being a princess is a tough job for someone so small. It's even harder when you've a problem you can't solve at all. You see, every princess in the kingdom could sing. Yet

she is set apart from the others on the plantation
