Adventure
 

Plot:

This story is about a street boy that became the whipping boy at the palace. Anytime the prince did something that deserved a spanking, the whipping boy received the punishment. The prince was a brat and deserved many whippings that the whipping boy took without crying. This made the prince angry. The prince decided to run away because he was bored and made the whipping boy go with him. He also didn't think he dad liked him. What kind of trouble do you think the prince go into? Read and find out!

good:

Once the prince and the whipping boy ran away from the palace, they are kidnapped by two mean men. The kidnappers think the whipping boy is the prince because of his education and his manners.
The prince learns that he needs to learn his lessons and take responsibility for his actions. The whipping boy teaches the prince how to survive without servants. While they are running from the kidnappers they have many challenges to overcome.

weaknesses:

The author sometimes makes direct quotes from the characters. It is in old English which is a little difficult to understand and I would have to read it more than once to figure out what was being said. Other than that, the story was very good.
