Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales

It's her 14th try at getting a name, and the nameless princess of Cochem can't get a word in edgewise. When she finally grabs her royal parents' attention, christening invitations flutter off to the Seven Kingdoms-only ten years late. But then the Blackfly Queen strides into the feasting hall...just as the oh-so-tasty parsnip fries run out. Arrows fly. Tempers flare. Another christening goes up in smoke! Only this time, her fairy godmother makes everything worse. The princess has 15 days to make a name for herself at the Speech Tournament. Or she'll be invisible for life!

What do you do when the only giant you know is knocked out like sleeping beauty? And you're worried it might be your fault... When the beloved Mr. Giant keels over after eating a bowl of soup in the Royal Marigold Restaurant, it's a recipe for trouble for eleven-year-old Prince William of Marigold. Now William-a.k.a. the comic strip artist known as "Jack", is facing charges of attempted giant-killing. The evidence against him? His newly published comic strip, about "knock-out flavor", and his solo kitchen duty on the day Mr. Giant conked out on the restaurant table. To solve the mystery of Mr. Giant's magical sleeping sickness, William needs some help from his friends in other parts of the Seven Kingdoms. But seven, suspicious, out-of-town giants are blocking the castle exits and won't let him out, no matter what he cooks up.
