The Not-so-Helpless Princess

by Blake Hoena, Pol Cunyat (Illustrator)

Overview

Blunder is convinced that he and Thud have to save a princess if they want to become True Heroes. Unfortunately, princesses in distress are in short supply in Village Town, so the two nine-year-old knights journey to Castle Kidnapt to hire one. Upon arrival, they find out that the only princess available for saving is a five-year-old girl with a thirst for adventure. Can Thud and Blunder keep up with Princess Punch, or will they end up being the ones in need of saving? These early chapter books are guaranteed to engage readers’ critical thinking skills. Each book also includes writing prompts, discussion questions, and a glossary.
