This nameless princess is a fabulously different kind of hero. I rooted for her triumph with every page turn. Deborah Halverson, award-winning author, editor

Its like The Kings Speech, but for kids.

When its save-the-kingdom time, a nameless princess has to use her whole toolbox. . .

Can she finally use the one tool thats never worked. . .her quiet voice?

Organizing a party is hard! When youre a behind-the-scenes inventor princess, its even worse.

But when your royal parents fall ill with croquet fever? All they want to do is play croquet!

The pressures on!

Then your royal aunt burns down the castle. . .

And your fairy godmothers booby-trapped gift means. . .

No one hears you at all!

Whats a princess to do?

REVIEWS

Kids will love every quirky thing about it!
--Kristi Wientge, author, KARMA KHULLARS MUSTACHE

I love the premise of hiding in plain sight. The concept that a kid could go through childhood - and life - without feeling they are being heard or seen is such an important topic . . . I know a lot of kids will be drawn to this!
--Halli Gomez, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK

Emotionally engaging. I feel much sympathy for the nameless princess, yet at the same time her parents and all their inadequacies are so endearing.
--Michelle Leonard, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: STORIES OF GIRLS WHO SCIENCE AND SCHEME, Young Adult (Sci-Fi Anthology for ages 12)

I love all the rich details like the Blackflies, the goldfish in the moat, the sluices carrying the desserts . . . --Karin Lefranc, author, I WANT TO EAT YOUR BOOKS

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES

Book 2: Lost With Leeks
delightful funny book that captures the readers heart from start to finish. 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.-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. . .-Christina Newcomb

Very cute story. I cant 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. Id love to read about the other characters or even more adventures with Nero. -Charlottes Reviews (Goodreads)

Book 2.5: Trouble at the Valentine Factory

Gr 4-7Dechers 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. --Jen McConnel, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Book 3: Under Pressure With A Squash
Whimsy and adventure at every turn! . . . another wonderful read. Funny, delightful and whimsical story of two royal siblings who learn what leadership requires. Smiles for readers of all ages who will relate with the troubles these two face in doing what must be done - whether its learning multiplication tables or utilizing archery skills!
Eileen Schnabel, author, ONE IF BY LAND, TWO IF BY SUBMARINE
