Whipping Boy PP

When the prince is a brat and you aren't supposed to punish him, what is a king to do?



Call the whipping boy! He takes the whippings the prince's guardians aren't allowed to give to ""Prince Brat""!



This high-paced story begins with the prince making trouble-again. Jemmy, the whipping boy, is called for and receives the prince's punishment--again. This becomes the pattern: The prince refuses to learn his school lessons and Jemmy gets punished. The prince pulls a prank, and Jemmy gets punished. But Jemmy figures as long as he is there, he might as well learn proper manners and how to read and write, even if the prince won't.



Then, one fateful day, the prince decides to run away and needs someone to carry his basket. Jemmy is drafted and their adventures begin. They are captured by thieves who plan to ransom the prince. Grasping the chance to escape, Jemmy runs, the Prince follows, and a grand chase is begun.



A chase that will change both of them, forever.
