Rating:  Summary: AWESOME BOOK---REPRINT IT!!!! Review: I absolutly love this book. My sister checked it out, and I picked it up without reading the other 2 in the series and I could NOT put it down!! I've long since read the other 2 and I've checked out the book sooo many times from our local library that I think they should just give it to me! It is my favorite book, and I want to buy a copy. Please Scholastic, reprint it!!
Rating:  Summary: 3rd book is darker but good;disappointing edition quality Review: I absolutly loved this book! I loved Meghan's character, I read this book before The Presidents Daughter, after I read this I had to go and buy The President's Daughter! I am still looking for this book to buy! The book caught my attention when I first begun reading it, I read it in one night. I recommand this book to all!
Rating:  Summary: Call for a Reprint! Review: I agree with the other reviewers: Ellen Emerson White's books need to be reprinted. I include in this the books about Vietnam written under the name Zach Emerson and THE Long Road Home, about front-line nurses in Vietnam and the problems they have after returning home. (This short statement doesn't do the book justice. )Please, publishers reprint these books.
Rating:  Summary: I can't believe it !!! Review: I first read this book in high school becuase a friend told me it was good. After that Ellen Emerson White became one of my favorite authors. I always thought this book was before it's time and would make a really good book today. Just for a lark I thought I'd see if amazon had any out-of-print copies of this book. Image my suprise when I saw it was back in mass market paperback. Like everyone say Long live the queen is somewhat dark tale than the first two but still really great reading. This book will have you flipping pages faster than a fry boy at Micky D's. It's like you get into Meg's mind and you wonder how would I handle this if I were Megan? This book even though being dark still had it's funny parts. And over all Ellen kept all the people very human. A nice change from most boooks dealing with this subject. I also like how she made her deal with the aftershock of being kidnapped and her relationship with her mother. She does a good job of not leaving you wanting more. This book is so good you want to read it again and again. All these years later I am still not sick of this book.

Rating:  Summary: 3rd book is darker but good;disappointing edition quality Review: I have read and reread (and loved, especially the first one) all three Meghan Powers books in their original editions. I am grateful to Hawk Publishing for reprinting these three books (now called the "President's Daughter" series) so that more people can enjoy them, but I do feel that people should know that these reprints are not high quality. They are trade paperbacks with bindings that seem sturdy enough, but the text is not at all crisp -- in fact, it looks like the publisher may have enlarged the pages from the original mass market editions on a Xerox machine and then reprinted these new editions from those copies. I am basing this guess on the fact that the text looks enlarged and somewhat blurry. The covers of all three of the reprint editions are hideous; the first one shows a girl who looks to be about 8 or 10 years old instead of a teenager, and the covers of the second and third books are not much better. If you can get past all that, these books are generally marvelous to read. "Long Live the Queen" is much darker than the first two books; Meg is kidnapped and the author does not try to spare us the brutality of this act. This might be a little scary for younger readers, but the book makes a brave and honest attempt to deal with the issues. Again, I am grateful to Hawk for reprinting these, even if the quality is a little disappointing.
Rating:  Summary: I couldn't put it down Review: I LOVED this book! It was great! I got it from my libary and for like the first week i didn't touch it. I thought it would be about somthing stuped like someone trying to kill the queen oe England or somthing(well, thats not to stuped but you know what i mean, right?) but it wasn't. It took me only 2 days to read the 343 book and anyother book would have taken me at lest a week. It's a great book woth a bit or romance, a bit of mystery, a bit of a suspense, and a bit of drama. I would recomend this book to anyone who likes books!
Rating:  Summary: On three: Reprint, reprint, reprint!! Review: I've re-read this book at *least* once every year since it came out. If the powers that be would finally get around to reprinting it - and while they were at it, every other book White has written - I would buy every one again, poor fellowship-student budget notwithstanding, just because my original copies are falling apart from overuse. What more do the folks at scholastic need to hear?
Rating:  Summary: The best of the Meg trilogy! Review: In my opinion, this is one of White's best works. Although this is technically a YA book, the only real "teen" thing about it is Meg's age. She, her siblings, parents and various White House personas are thoroughly fleshed out, as well as the multitude of psychological issues that come along with being the child of a president. Here, when Meg's position in life leads to her abduction -- an incredibly grave situation -- White combines it with the thoughts running through Meg's mind, which are usually humorous and sarcastic. A thoroughly enjoyable read.
Rating:  Summary: Definitely NOT a Disapointing Sequel! Review: When I read "The President's Daughter" (the first book about Meg and her President Mother) I absolutely LOVED it......I read it over & over. I couldn't believe my luck when Ellen E. White came out with it's sequel! "Long Live the Queen" surpassed my every expectation. I think that I have read this book more times than the first. I began reading her books years ago, in High School, and, I find myself reaching for her books even now. Ellen Emerson White is definitely a wonderful writer for any age. I cannot wait to introduce my kids to her some day. (I think I will wait until they can read, though!) THESE BOOKS NEED TO BE REPRINTED!
