Princess Brr-Rainy

Princess Brr-Rainy is too clever to believe that Rainland is at risk from magic, but not clever enough to realise why no one can stand her. Then something odd happens ? Prince Raine is a very bright kid. And that's her problem. No one likes smart kids, especially when they're unaware of the effect they have on other people. Even her Dad (that's the king) finds her too much. To make things worse, she has two funny, silly, younger brothers-twins-both as dumb as a bar of soap-whom everyone loves. It's not fair. So when the kingdom of Rainland is threatened by a massive and abnormal heatwave, the reason has to be a natural phenomenon, like global warming -right? It couldn't be the arrival of some magical, mythical, fire-breathing monster. Could it? The king wants Raine to go and investigate but she refuses; let him send his younger son, if he's so sure there's a monster: it's always the youngest who slays the dragon in fairytales. And then something totally unexpected happens to her and everything changes. But how? Read on.
