Laurel Decher

Will the Seven Kingdoms be the friendliest place in the world? Or the rudest?

The eleven-year-old royal Saffron twins—Princess Saffy and Prince Magellan--have to save the Seven Kingdoms from the Blackfly Queen’s dangerous new magical candies!

The trouble starts when the Blackfly Queen introduces a brand-new holiday guaranteed to make her the most beloved queen in the Seven Kingdoms: Valentine’s Day!?!

This year, Valentine’s Day falls on the same day as the Rose Monday Parade. Instead of delighting the crowds with traditional candies, the queen has a dastardly plan.

She’s making Consternation Hearts with magical powers, a.k.a. candy hearts with messages good for every day of the year... like “Go to the Water Dungeon!”

A Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tale

Trouble at the Valentine Factory

“This nameless princess is a fabulously different kind of hero. I rooted for her triumph with every page turn." —Deborah Halverson, award-winning author, editor

It's like The King's Speech, but for kids.

When it's save-the-kingdom time, a nameless princess has to use her whole toolbox. . .

Can she finally use the one tool that's never worked. . .her quiet voice?

Organizing a party is hard! When you're a behind-the-scenes inventor princess, it's even worse.

But when your royal parents fall ill with croquet fever? All they want to do is play croquet!

The pressure's on!

Then your royal aunt burns down the castle. . .

And your fairy godmother's booby-trapped gift means. . .

No one hears you at all!

What's a princess to do?

REVIEWS

“Kids will love every quirky thing about it!”

--Kristi Wientge, author, KARMA KHULLAR’S MUSTACHE

“I love the premise of hiding in plain sight. The concept that a kid could go through childhood - and life - without feeling they are being heard or seen is such an important topic . . . I know a lot of kids will be drawn to this!”

--Halli Gomez, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK

“I love all the rich details like the Blackflies, the goldfish in the moat, the sluices carrying the desserts . . .” --Karin Lefranc, author, I WANT TO EAT YOUR BOOKS

PRAISE FOR THE SERIES

Book 2: Lost With Leeks

"delightful funny book that captures the readers heart from start to finish. A wicked Queen, hot air balloons, a friendly yellow dragon and a Prince with a lot of responsibility and a huge talent for getting lost make for a hilarious journey. . . will definitely be sharing it with my grandchildren."-Sharon Walker, grandparent

Book 2.5: Trouble at the Valentine Factory

"Gr 4-7–Decher’s fourth book in the “Seven Kingdoms” series is a zany story of ingenuity and collaboration. Life in the Seven Kingdoms is never dull, especially not with fairies popping by to ask for favors and a cranky queen creating candies that will put a spell on anyone who eats them." --Jen McConnel, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Book 3: Under Pressure With A Squash

"Whimsy and adventure at every turn! . . . another wonderful read. Funny, delightful and whimsical story of two royal siblings who learn what leadership requires."
