Princess Pulverizer: Grilled Cheese and Dragons
Available from:Princess Serena of Empiria — or Princess Pulverizer as she prefers to be called — is not your average princess. She has no interest in tea party training or ballroom dancing lessons. In fact, she has no interest in being a princess at all. She wants to be a knight. But, as her father tells her, being a knight is not as easy as simply donning a suit of armor and a sword. Being a knight takes training, courage, and honor. To prove to her father she has what it takes to go to Knight School, Princess Pulverizer will have to set out on a Quest of Kindness, performing eight good deeds along the way. And so begins this funny, charming, entertaining adventure starring a plucky and not-quite-perfect heroine and the memorable characters she meets along the way. A just-right read for kids getting going with chapter books from a master of the genre, Nancy Krulik, this fantastic start to the new and promising series will have growing readers turning pages lightning fast, excited to move on to the next installment.
