Thony and the Much-Anticipated Adventure

Beschreibung

It wasn't fair.Princes were supposed to go on adventures.Instead, Thony's older sisters had gone off on The Quest and Left Him Behind. In Aldyrwald, of all places. I mean, yeah, it was their home and Thony was Crown Prince and all, but seriously? Aldyrwald was the boringest, most insignificant place in the world. In any world.And Thony's efforts to "liven things up a little" are always so completely underappreciated.Things start looking up with the arrival of Amanita, a mysterious foreign girl who also likes to play pranks, but refuses to share anything about her past. Befriending her - and saving her from the consequences of her own hot temper - somehow lead to Thony getting treated as more than just a boy.But now his entirely unmysterious parents, Queen Annabel and King Bill, are acting like there's some Deep Dark Secret......and that it has something to do with Thony...

Kerridwen Mangala McNamara is an Indian-American witha Master's degree in Bacterial Genetics who lives in FlyoverCountry (the far northern end of the US South) with her husband,The Professor, four of her six children, and three goats. Thegoats eat, The Professor plays chess, and the children largelyunschool while Mangala writes. (The remaining children arein college - you can blame the oldest for the excessive amountsof math showing up in Mangala's fantasy novels, the secondone for better attention to staging of scenes, the third for allthe economics, and the fourth for great attention to history- and all of them for a focus on political science!) Mangala isa former professional bellydance instructor, currently coachesmodel government teams, runs homeschool parent supportgroups, and used to enjoy knitting, crotchet and embroideringTemari balls but now is much more boring as she rarely doesanything but write, argue economic theory with her 18 and15 year olds, and wonder loudly if her 12 and 10year olds doanything other than watch Naruto videos. She owes her loveof books and reading to her mother, who was a professionalfolklorist and could recite - from memory - stories from everynation in the United Nations.
