The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy
5.0
Gustav, Frederic, Liam and Duncan. The Princes Charming that the bards forgot about. Well they didn't forget, they were just too lazy to remember the names and "Prince Charming" just seemed to stick. You see, the bards are the only way information gets around the kingdoms. So all of the princesses are extremely popular (Rapunzel, Cinderella, Briar Rose and Snow White- bet you know who they are!)but the poor boys are just "Charming". Not even a name but an adjective.
So when a very evil witch (who did her homework on the the whole witching occupation) decides to steal the bards and plots an elaborate execution, its up to the Princes Charming to redeem their names and save the day.
This book is just as silly as it sounds but makes you giggle the whole way through!
The author did a wonderful job of using the very little detail we know on the Princes and making it part of their personality. For example, Cinderella's Prince Charming met Cinderella at a ball and (literally) swept her off her feet- through dancing. Healy's character of Cinderella's Charming (the very girly Frederic) is not only a wonderful dancer, but also very good at making picnics, etiquette, and reading adventures of Sir Bertram the Dainty. Clever and hilarious!
I can't think of anyone who won't enjoy this book. Fairy-tales delight both the old and the young and these fairy-tales are so twisted and funny, I actually feel sorry for anyone who gives this book less than three stars- they obviously are missing a funny bone!
