The False Prince Book Report

“I still feel like the boy in the orphanage, i’m lost here.” In the book The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen Sage is an orphan who lives in an orphanage with hundreds of kids barely getting enough food to get by, but one day he gets the opportunity of a lifetime…… to be king of Carthya and act as the long lost Prince Jaron. The royal family was secretly killed and the news was never told to the public, so now their was an open spot for king. Sage has to compete with three other boys in tests and lessons to see who will best fit the throne as Prince Jaron. However, the boys not chosen have to be killed. The story takes place in an imaginary land similar to India. The main characters are Sage, Connor, Roden, Tobias, Imogen, Cregan, and Mott. Sage in the beginning didn't really want to be king and always got himself into trouble with his big mouth. However towards the end Sage stops his ways and puts all of his efforts in to getting the throne but a big twist is revealed at the end

that Sage is the long lost Prince Jaron and had been hiding for years after he was proclaimed “dead”. The theme of this story is don’t judge a book by its cover.

Sage was always getting himself into trouble while he was competing with the other boys. For example, Sage did not know how to ride a horse while he was at horse riding lessons. However, Sage challenged cregan to a race with the horses but the race went terribly wrong. Sage’s horse went out of control and the horse carried Sage into the woods to a creek and the horse ran away. This event is important because Cregan’s hatred grew even more to make Cregan secretly help one of the orphans of getting the throne. The second example is when Connor found a rock in Sage’s clothes and began to be suspicious after Sage didn’t stop begging for the rock back Connor sent Sage down to the dungeons to be whipped by Mott. This event is important because this event made Sage think about really trying harder for the crown. In conclusion, Sage kept getting in trouble because of his big mouth.

Sage really grew throughout the book tremendously. For example, Sage in the beginning was a very disobedient starving orphan who stole from people's shops. Later on at the end Sage became a mature king ready to rule for the country he has been living in his whole life. He started to change his ways after he was whipped by Mott and realized that if he kept up what he was doing he wasn’t going to get picked and would be killed. Also, he started to change after Tobias’s notes were found by Connor. In the middle of the book Tobias wrote secret notes on how if he became king he would get rid of Connor. However, those notes were found by Connor himself and he was furious of Tobias. This made Tobias out of the running and that meant that was one less boy to compete against. In conclusion, Sage grew tremendously throughout the book.

I thought The False prince was a very good book.

The author did very well by putting a lot of suspense and shock at the end of the book. This was one of my favorite books I have ever because I enjoyed watching Sage thrive and fail throughout the lessons. I would recommend the book to people who love suspense and action. This book includes running, stabbing, whipping, and supreme royalty and mystery. If you read this book you will see a young boy from an orphanage turn into a king of his country. Also, you will have mixed emotions throughout the book like sadness, confusion, happiness, and angriness all in just a 350 page book. In conclusion, I recommend this book to many different kinds of people as this is one of my favorite
