The Daredevil Princess and the Gumpy Giant by Belinda Murrell
This book is part of a royally fun junior fiction series filled with magic, adventure and daring . . . and a super sassy unicorn.
Princess Tillie and Honey Blossom are excited. It’s the mid-winter Ice Festival and all the townsfolk of Rosenburg are celebrating and waiting for the fireworks. Is King Edwin really the best person to be in charge of the gunpowder? But things go wrong when a naughty prank wakens Bodo, the frost giant. The festival will be ruined!
Why does Mr Grimm keeping falling over in the snow? Why is Fritzi afraid of loud noises? Why is Bruno such a pest?
Can Princess Tillie be brave enough to face Bodo and talk to him? Can she reason with the frost giant before it is too late? The fate of the ice festival is in princess Tillie’s hands...
A great family read or for independent readers aged 7-10 years.
