"With his flair for persuading readers to believe in the ridiculous, Fleischman scores a hit."--Publishers Weekly

"A rollicking tale of adventure and mistaken identity, written in a style reminiscent of 19th-century melodrama."--Kirkus Reviews

"Eminently satisfying."--ALA Booklist

"The Whipping Boy is a quick, fast-paced book full of wisdom and heart. It delivers a full-scale story in a short, accessible format."--Brightly

Jemmy had been plucked from the streets to serve as whipping boy to the arrogant and spiteful Prince Brat.
