Rejected by their princesses, Sleeping
Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, four princes
must set out on quests to impress their ladies with their
bravery and knightly skills. In their travels, each of
them discovers an evil plot that will destroy their
respective kingdoms. The problem is that the bards who
spread the news around all of the kingdoms through their
songs often leave out important details such as the
prince’s names and heroic deeds. So all four princes
(Prince Liam, Prince Frederick, Prince Duncan, and Prince
Gustav) are called “Prince Charming,” and not one of them
gets credit for their daunting feats against trolls,
bandits, dragons, witches and other evil beings. The other
problem is that the princesses are all very brave and
clever and don’t “think” they require the lackluster
abilities of the princes to save their kingdoms. Will
these four princes manage to sharpen their wits and hone
their fighting skills enough to save their kingdoms and
become real heroes? (Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Award nominee, 2014) |
