A princess who can read thoughts. A prince who doesn’t think of anyone but himself. A secret princess. A girl who doesn’t want to be a princess. And, of course, a kingdom at war. You’ll find all of these stories of noble proportions in these books about royalty (in no particular order):
- Once Upon a Marigold by Jean Ferris (Karen’s pick)
- Dealing with Dragons by Patricia C. Wrede (Nancy’s pick)
