Just Ella & Palace of Mirrors

Just Ella & Palace of Mirrors, both by Margaret Peterson Haddix

I read these two books & fell in love! They are very well written, and definitely keep your attention. Margaret Peterson Haddix is an author you don't wanna miss!! 

Again, I read this awhile ago, so in order to have an accurate summary, I will have to get it from Goodreads.com but HOW COULD I NOT REVIEW THESE TWO BOOKS WHEN A THIRD IS COMING OUT THIS APRIL!!!!!!!

Anyways, Just Ella https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/162719.Just_Ella?from_search=true"You've heard the fairytale: a glass slipper, Prince Charming, happily ever after... 

Welcome to reality: royal genealogy lessons, needlepoint, acting like "a proper lady," and — worst of all — a prince who is not the least bit interesting, and certainly not charming.
As soon-to-be princess Ella deals with her newfound status, she comes to realize she is not "your majesty" material. But breaking off a royal engagement is no easy feat, especially when you're crushing on another boy in the palace.... For Ella to escape, it will take intelligence, determination, and spunk — and no ladylike behavior allowed."

Palace of Mirrors https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2208767.Palace_of_Mirrors :

"Cecilia knows that she is not just another peasant girl; she is actually the true princess, in hiding until the evil forces that killed her parents are vanquished. A commoner named Desmia is on the throne as a decoy.
As she gets older, Cecilia finds it harder to study statesmanship and palace protocol secretly at night and then pretend that she has nothing on her mind other than scrubbing the gruel stains out of her best apron by day.
Cecilia knows that it is time to take charge. Along with her best friend, Harper, she flees to the capital city, determined to reclaim her throne and face the danger head on.
When Harper and Cecilia reach the famed Palace of Mirrors, they discover complications: Princess Desmia believes an entirely different version of the story."

THEY ARE SO GOOD & I WANT TO RE READ BEFORE THE THIRD ONE COMES OUT!!
