Books Descriptions
Once upon a time, on the Old Tumbledown Farm, in the Middle of
Nowhere, in the Forgotten Corner of the Kingdom, deep in the realm of
Squerb, two young girls dream of their destinies. Lavender knows that her
destiny is to become a fairy-tale princess and is almost certainly going to
feature a handsome prince. Eliza is having none of that-her destiny
involves battling dragons and giants, vanquishing monsters, and solving
mysteries.Turns out that they are both right . . . though not quite in the
way they imagined. When Lavender, tired of waiting around and arguing
with Eliza, sets out to find her own prince, she instead runs into the evil
count Mordmont (who is most definitely NOT a handsome prince in
disguise) and it's up to Eliza to ride to the rescue on their faithful goat,
Gertrude!This funny fairy-tale adventure sends two sisters on very
different quests to battle dragons and trick villains.Winner of the
Sainsbury's Children's Book Award for Fiction Ages 5-9
