The Peg Leg Princess


Book Description

She thought she knew how to be a princess... Meg tries her best to be a good princess; but when a simple good deed backfires and leaves Meg with only one leg to stand on, she finds all her ideas of proper princess behavior turned upside down. She thought she knew what makes a hero... And she wasn't one. Princesses are meant to stand still and be rescued, right? And if rescue comes too late, a princess may cry - in a dignified and graceful way - but she certainly shouldn't pick the sword up herself! You think you know how this ends... But when a peg leg princess (and a talking cat) set sail to fight fate on the Undulatian Sea, even her fairy godfather can't be sure what happens next.
