The Second Adventures of Princess Peony: In which she doesn’t want a prince but gets one anyway. But not for keeps.

The second book in Nette Hilton’s irresistible emerging readers series for self-described princesses who dislike waiting around for things (especially princes) and can’t resist a challenge from a troll (big brother). Princess Peony has zero interest in waiting for a unicorn, a fairy princess or a silly prince until the Troll (her brother) tells her she’ll never get one because she’s not even a real princess. Then, The lovely Princess decides a Prince on a horse, with a big JUMPING LEAPING HOUND AND A SAVAGE LION OR TWO would be VERY handy. Trolls are to be ignored but sometimes they’re ASKING for it, if you really want to know. As only she can, Princess Peony manages to prove that she’s a Princess and make her brother think he’s a Prince, which he absolutely doesn’t want to be. Of course, only she can turn him back into a Troll and restore order to the kingdom. This will involve some kissing, some frogs and a lot of surprises.
