The Karate Princess is about a princess called Belinda. She's the youngest of sixteen princesses, and the only one who isn't very pretty. Her father sends her off to find a husband and she has to compete against lots of other princesses to win the Prince. Belinda is sent on a quest with another princess who isn't very nice. Luckily Belinda is trained in karate which helps her on her mission.

My favourite character was the royal painter. He was nervous and very funny. I also thought Belinda was cool, especially when she does her karate!

There aren't many pictures in the book, which I didn't mind, but the drawings of the characters weren't anything like I imagined the characters to be in my head.

I quite like Jeremy Strong, his books are funny and make me laugh so I was looking forward to reading this. I thought The Karate Princess was a good book, the story was a clever idea and I liked that it had a bit of a twist.
