Praise for the Series:

"Gr 4-7–Decher's fourth book in the "Seven Kingdoms" series is a zany story of ingenuity and collaboration. Life in the Seven Kingdoms is never dull, especially not with fairies popping by to ask for favors and a cranky queen creating candies that will put a spell on anyone who eats them." [Trouble at the Valentine Factory]--Jen McConnel, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

"Kids will love every quirky thing about it!" [Trouble With Parsnips]--Kristi Wientge, author, KARMA KHULLAR'S MUSTACHE

A wicked Queen, hot air balloons, a friendly yellow dragon and a Prince with a lot of responsibility and a huge talent for getting lost make for a hilarious journey. . . will definitely be sharing it with my grandchildren." [Lost With Leeks] -Sharon Walker, grandparent


"a wonderful and fantastical story. . .a great read for older elementary children. . .enjoyed discovering this whimsical world, watching Nero overcome his obstacles, and seeing the growth of characters through the story. . ." [Lost With Leeks] -Christina Newcomb


"Very cute story. I can't wait to read it with my girls! As someone who has no sense of direction, I love that Nero is directionally challenged also. I hope there are more books to follow. I'd love to read about the other characters or even more adventures with Nero." [Lost With Leeks]-Charlotte's Reviews (Goodreads)

"Whimsy and adventure at every turn! . . . another wonderful read. Funny, delightful and whimsical story of two royal siblings who learn what leadership requires.

About the Author

Laurel Decher writes books for readers who enjoy their reading superpowers, are willing to imagine delightfully silly places, and are eager to discover life's possibilities!
In the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales, 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. When you're on an extraordinary adventure, it's funny how an ordinary thing can help.
She lives on the outskirts of a mid-sized city in Germany, between a medieval chapel on St. James' Way and a boundary marker tree complete with scary face. It's a little surprising, since she expected to live in Vermont for the rest of her life. You never know when adventure will call!
