Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms By Rey Terciero, Megan Kearney (Illustrator) Cover Image

Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms (Paperback)

By Rey Terciero, Megan Kearney (Illustrator)
$12.99

Ummm, adorable?!?! Swan Lake: Quest for the Kingdoms is a high-energy mashup of famous fairy tales and classic ballets, retold in a fresh way with wonderful adventure, heartfelt messages about authenticity, and enough jokes and slapstick humor to keep it silly and joyful. Two princesses from enemy kingdoms lead our story, as they set out to find the truth of their kingdoms ongoing war, a curse, and so much more. Light yet exciting! (And to top it all off, one of the Kingdoms is called Montrose!!!)
