The Servant and the Water Princess: A Story of Ancient India by Jessica Gunderson

The Servant and the Water Princess (Read-It! Chapter Books) Hmmm. . ., strange that this one didn't pull up.  It's copyright 2009, so not too old and not too new. 

Anyway, about a level 2 int. chapter book exploring life in Ancient India.  The main character lives inside the palace and attends one of the princesses.  She is a part of the harem, which is described in the book solely as the women of the palace.  She helps the princess get ready for the day, and they also do some sneaking out without getting caught.  This is the second book in this series that I've read, and I liked the other one better, but it is very hard to find appropriate historical readers for children, and this series is one of them.
