About the book...
...a tale of fantasy, adventure and bravery. Quinn is a fairy sprite who dreams of becoming queen. But how does one become a queen? All the books Quinn has ever read claim that damsels in distress are rescued by princes and then live happily ever after. Quinn’s search for a handsome prince is brought to an abrupt halt by a nasty two-headed ogre who threatens the safety of Fairy Land. Can Quinn summon the queen inside her heart to outwit this evil foe?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, you gotta love the forward thinking message in this one. It was definitely written for today's youth in mind. Think about it, the fairytales most of us grew up with DO in fact have a damsel in some sort of distress that is saved by a dashing knight, prince, insert-big-strong-handsome-stereotype here. There's nothing wrong with that but giving girls another option of saving herself, her friends, AND the day, definitely couldn't hurt...especially when it's set to rhyme and combined with charming illustrations.
That's right! The flow of the story as well as the verses are as smooth as the velvet gowns of green Quinn dreams of for her royal garb. The pictures are colorful and magical allowing the creativity of the illustrator to shine through, much like Quinn's resourcefulness in saving the day. It all works together to provide a seamless experience of joy and wonder for readers of all ages. While one age may be glued purely to the images dancing before their eyes, the next will take that wonder one step further as they follow the turning pages from story to message and beyond. A great read with pure fun for all just waiting for you to discover....so, what are you waiting for?
