A Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tale Series

"Life in the Seven Kingdoms is never dull . . ." --Jen McConnel, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

If you're looking for kids books that ignite curiosity, you've come to the right place! These exciting children's books are about finding the magic in life.

In the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales, royal kids take on magical challenges that are difficult but worthwhile. When you're on an extraordinary adventure, it's funny how an ordinary thing can help. These smart and friendly heroes and heroines speak up, (and hatch dragons), take tests, (and defeat the Blackfly queen), deal with less than perfect scores, (and cupids), find their way around, (and get lost), stay friends even when they disagree, (and struggle with fairy godparents) and find a way to belong in a new place.

For ages 9 to 12. The books can be read in any order.

Perfect for fans of funny, fast-paced fairy tales like Jean Ferris' Once Upon a Marigold or E.G. Foley's The Gryphon Chronicles or Wade Albert White's The Adventurer's Guide to Successful Escapes.

Also for friends of entertaining adventure stories. . .with a side of handy life skills. (Jacqueline Davies' The Lemonade Wars or Shannon Hale's Princess Academy.)

Editorial Reviews

“This nameless princess is a fabulously different kind of hero. I rooted for her triumph with every page turn."

—Deborah Halverson, award-winning author, editor

“I love the premise of hiding in plain sight. The concept that a kid could go through childhood - and life - without feeling they are being heard or seen is such an important topic . . . I know a lot of kids will be drawn to this!”

--Halli Gomez, author: LIST OF TEN, contributing author: BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK

“Emotionally engaging. I feel much sympathy for [the nameless princess], yet at the same time her parents and all their inadequacies are so endearing.”

--Michelle Leonard, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: STORIES OF GIRLS WHO SCIENCE AND SCHEME, Young Adult (Sci-Fi Anthology for ages 12+)

“I love all the rich details like the Blackflies, the goldfish in the moat, the sluices carrying the desserts . . .” --Karin Lefranc, author, I WANT TO EAT YOUR BOOKS

What readers are saying:

Love this super-original fairy tale!

“This is a terrifically inventive tale about a princess (the youngest of 15 children) who needs a name, fast—and the clock is ticking. . .The stakes are high, not only for her but for the whole kingdom, and I found myself reading faster and faster as I neared the end. I also fell in love with the entire Cochem Kingdom, a wonderfully quirky place where the characters are obsessed with library books (yay!), good quality parsnip fries, and excellent, rollicking speeches. What a fun, satisfying read!” —Susan Gilbert-Collins

Trouble with Parsnips isn’t like any other book I’ve ever read. I would love to read more by the author. I give this book 5/5 stars as it is a great book, and I loved every single part of it. Have fun reading!
