When modern meets medieval, Kenzie must help a squire get back to the past in this time-traveling fantasy adventure!
A DIFFERENT KIND OF PRINCESS
(SHE’S NO PRINCESS)
Kenzie hates that her family moved to a castle to start a Medieval-themed resort, but all that changes when a time-traveling squire needs Kenzie’s help to get back home to the past!
From the best-selling creative team behind DC Superhero Girls, this is a perfect read for fans of Phoebe and her Unicorn, The Baby-Sitter’s Club, or Witches of Brooklyn.
The Winter Holidays and … your characters!
How do your book’s characters celebrate the holidays?
a. Do they celebrate with family & friends?
b. What do they eat?
c. What do you think they’d like to do?
I think King's Castle would have an amazing holiday with all the traditional celebrations of Fralandia. Of course, Kenzie would ensure there were plenty of churros and Rose would decorate sugar cookies that were almost too pretty to eat. With the hotel, the King family would welcome visitors from all over and participate in all sorts of holidays and traditions to make everyone feel at home. The grounds of King's Castle would provide ample opportunities for sledding, snowball fights, and building snowmen.
Would your character like to say anything to readers for holiday cheer?
In the book, Kenzie learns to see her sensitivity as a strength and that would be her message about holiday cheer. There is so much that can go "wrong" during the holidays, but approaching it with a sensitive, open heart allows Kenzie to experience the fullness of holiday cheer.
