Do Not Panic the Pixies

LoveReading4Kids Says

Princesses Grace and Portia are heading off to the Wondermere Questival, the highlight of every young knight’s year, a week of camping and competition at things like shield-wielding, axe-throwing, bog-snorkelling and welly-wanging, plus the very tempting pin-the-tail-on-the-stick-man.

Everyone is excited, not least the pixies who swarm around Grace, certain she will emerge as champion. But then young giant Mondo Colossa arrives and immediately becomes the Pixies’ Pick.

Winning is everything to Grace and she’s not above resorting to some fairly sneaky tricks to win the pixies back. The great thing about Grace though is however much trouble she causes – generally, quite a lot – she’s always quick to fix things too and Questival ends in the happiest way possible for everyone, after a thoroughly enjoyable helping of adventure, chaos and magic.

This is the third book to star Grace and Portia and it’s great fun, a celebration of friendship and fairness with a hugely appealing cast of characters. Wondermere rules!
