Princess Minna loves to sort out mix-ups and mishaps in the
kingdom! In this full-colour, illustrated chapter book, join her on
a funny, exciting adventure to wake a sleeping prince and much more
- all in time for tea. Princess Minna lives in Castle Tall-Towers
with the King and Queen, Raymond the Wizard and her best dragon
friend, Lorenzo. There are often mix-ups and mishaps in the kingdom
and Princess Minna loves to sort them out! She can tame unicorns,
kiss frogs and fight dragons (apart from Lorenzo) and she is very
good at fixing things before it's time for bed. In The Enchanted
Forest, Princess Minna has to wake a sleeping prince before
nightfall. But along the way, she finds a swan, an old lady and a
very fluffy sheep - all of them in a fix! Can she help them and
still reach the prince before sundown? Full of colourful
illustrations, these short, funny stories are perfect for readers
just moving on from picture books and visual readers.
Wendington Jones has her world abruptly up-ended when her
adventuring mother dies in a car crash in late 1920. Left in the
care of her Grandmamma and her valet Rohan, Wendington receives a
parcel in the middle of the night, seemingly from her dead mother.
It's half of a manuscript from a book her mother was writing, and
describes a mystery surrounding the mythical Tree of Life. When
Wendington reads that the tree could have the power to bring her
mother back to life, she throws herself into finding the remainder
of the manuscript and solving her mother's mystery. However, her
initial attempts are laced with danger. Other people also seek to
find the Tree of Life and Wendington has to trick, fight and talk
her way out of many perilous situations. Does Wendington have what
it takes to complete her mission? Enola Holmes meets Indiana Jones
in this epic story of mystery, adventure and learning to live with
grief along the way.
