Synopsis

The cast: an un-ordinary king, and an extraordinary princess, a couple of kooky giants, an overzealous magician, a loyal and helpful witch, and a host of evil and dangerous wizards.

The instruments: a broken-down magic carpet, a leaking magical sword, and a few buckets of soapy lemon water.

The problem: dragon-napping and magic-stealing.

And so the story begins, one fine day while King Mendanbar is taking a casual stroll through the Enchanted Forest. . . . 

“A refreshing romp.”—Kirkus

“[A] story that will delight fantasy fans. ”—Booklist

Mendanbar is as unconventional as Cimorene, and just as subject to being nagged about the proper way to do things. The change......more

How can I even begin to describe my love for this book and the whole series? This book is about The King of the Enchanted Forest, Mendanbar, who hates princesses.
