"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 A Story About the Magic of Speaking Up: Gail Carson Levine's classic Ella Enchanted meets The King's Speech. It's her 14th try at getting a name, and the nameless princess of Cochem can't get a word in edgewise. Until she finally grabs her royal parents' attention. *cough* (500 goldfish, long story.) Christening invitations flutter off to the Seven Kingdoms-only ten years late. But then the Blackfly Queen strides into the feasting hall . . . just as the oh-so-tasty parsnip fries run out. Arrows fly. Tempers flare. Another christening goes up in smoke! Only this time, her fairy godmother makes everything worse. The princess has 15 days to make a name for herself at the Speech Tournament. Or she'll be invisible for life! TROUBLE WITH PARSNIPS is the first book in the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tale series for ages 9 to 12. Perfect for fans of Jean Ferris' Once Upon a Marigold, Jacqueline Davies' The Lemonade Wars, and E.G. Foley's The Gryphon Chronicles. Hungry readers always need books. Keep them well read. WHY READ SEVEN KINGDOMS FAIRY TALES? Everyone knows the leaders of tomorrow will need lots of skills. Each Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tale takes on a BIGGIE. In each Tale, a fairy godparent gives one lucky child the perfect leadership gift. Abracadabra! If only they'd remember the training wheels! Yiiiiiiikes! Whether it's speaking up at a feast, or reading a map in a strange kingdom, these Tales are all about finding more magic in your life. Hip, Hip, Hooray!
Autorenporträt
Laurel Decher writes books about making life more delightful, richer, and more magical by taking advantage of opportunities that scare us (or that we are positive aren't for us.)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.Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales are about enjoying reading superpowers, imagining delightfully silly places, and discovering life's possibilities.
