Thirteen-year old Chloe Turner's goal in life is to make the young guests happy at the respected posh St. Michèle hotel in NYC, where her father works as a concierge. And she has the real talent for it: no one else you can call to organise a special artifact from a museum for an African wedding party. A wealthy French father and daughther are checking in one day at the hotel, and another challenge for Chloe: how to keep her happy and busy. She tries everything: a rehearsel with the Rockettes, and to organise, as the father said Zhe perfect birzdaay. But some guests are never satisfied. So when its announced that Prince Philip and Princess Caroline of Rosenstein and their three children will stay at the hotel during their stay in NYC, Chloe's brain already is running in circles, now she can really say farewell to stay a junior concierge as she expects this a little bit a task too difficult for her.
The royal family arrives with their entourage, and it turns out they are quite nice people, especially their three children want to be treated as normal as possible. The three children: The fourteen year old prince Alex (which is quite a charming guy!!) and two princesses, Sophie and Ingrid want a grand tour of the hotspots of NYC, with her best friend Paisley in tow But during the tour, one of the girls goes off on her own and they can't find her anywhere. A search through all the mayor spots in NYC takes of to track her down before the international press gets words of this and Chloe can say farewell to her junior concierge position. This search also might prove that Chloe can keep her head cool in the most stressful situations, even when a nice chemistry between you and a prince is starting to bloom up..!
I can absolutely see this book being made into a TV movie or series on the Disney channel. At your service is a highly entertaining read for young readers, but I am pretty sure older readers will enjoy this one a lot too (I certainly am glad I picked this one!) Chloe is so mature for her age and is the expert for all fun things for kids in New York City From the opening lines, Chloe's voice is crisp, funny, and whip-smart.. The children who where staying at the guest where also marvelous to read about: Alex was the charming young prince that develops a special friendship with Chloe. Sophie was the younger, preppy sister and Ingrid the older one who wants to get rid of the protocol and her bodyguards. If you love New York City, this is the book for you as it gives you a grand tour through all of the city. I just loved everything about this fun, fun middle grade book!
