The Hero’s Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You remember them, don’t you? They’re the Princes Charming, who finally got some credit after they stepped out of the shadows of their princesses–Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Briar Rose–to defeat an evil witch bent on destroying all their kingdoms. But alas, such fame and recognition only last so long. And when the princes discover that an object of great power might fall into any number of wrong hands, they are going to have to once again band together to stop it from happening–even if no one will ever know it was they who did it.
Magical gemstones, bladejaw eels, a mysterious Gray Phantom, and two maniacal warlords bent on world domination–it’s all in a day’s work for the League of Princes.
The Good
The four princes work together to try and stop three different rulers trying to take over the world.
The Bad
There is a magical gem that can control other people’s mind, a man who can turn into a giant snake, bandits and three rulers trying to take over the world. Possibly scary pictures, check out pages 143, 219, 299, 388, 401, 408, 441, and 453.
Ages
10+ is a good age for this book.
My Take
I enjoyed this book. It’s so funny! The page numbers for pictures that I put above will probably not all scare your child, if any. It’s just any that might be scary. For the book before this one, click here.
