About This Book

In a land far, far away . . . A boy with magical powers to win Princess Charming's heart. A fairy who likes turning humans into toads. A true love forbidden by the King. A world of fairies and magic -- what could be more perfect than that? But is it perfect enough to help a simple farm boy marry a beautiful princess? And if an unruly fairy turns a maiden into a toad, how does she turn herself back? And can a fairy -- even a helpful one -- change a stubborn king's law? Welcome to a land where Pri

Our Review

In this charming fairy tale adventure, a simple farm boy discovers he possesses magical abilities that might just help him win the heart of Princess Charming, despite the king's decree against their union. The story unfolds in a whimsical world filled with mischievous fairies—one who particularly enjoys transforming humans into toads—creating a delightful blend of fantasy and gentle suspense. Young readers will be captivated by the classic quest structure, where true love faces royal obstacles and magical interventions, making this an engaging read-aloud experience that celebrates kindness and perseverance.

What sets this magical kingdom story apart is its clever twist on traditional fairy tale tropes, presenting a princess worth fighting for and a hero whose power comes from his character rather than his birthright. The narrative thoughtfully explores themes of transformation—both magical and personal—as characters navigate spells, royal decrees, and their own growing understanding of what truly matters. Children who enjoy enchanted forests, magical creatures, and stories where underdogs triumph will find themselves completely transported to this imaginative realm, where the most powerful magic of all might just be believing in yourself.
