The Prince and the Pauper by L. Maraiya

Life sometimes presents amazing surprises. Just yesterday, Tom Canty, the son of a very ordinary poor man from the Court of Beggars, fell asleep hungry on a bundle of straw, and today he is the prince of England, the heir... to the royal throne. How could this happen? Fate brought together two similar boys with different destinies to test who would deserve to pass the challenges that arose, and who would be blinded by vanity and pride.
