This diary is written by a 13 year old girl named Nzingha she is a West African princess. She always wants to go hunting with with her father but he and the others who help him lead day tell her it is not proper for a princess to hunt (not fair!). One day Nzingha hopes she will be queen - when she a little girl her mother took her to a woman named Ajala for a reading, Ajala told her mother that Nzingha was destined to be the leader of three village Ndongo - and really believes she would make a great queen and she also believes her brother is weak and would not make a good leader. This was not my favorite Royal diaries book because it seemed shorter then the others. Recommended for 12+ Thanks for reading -Ajg16's reviews
