About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels like an outsider because of their quiet interests or when they prefer the company of nature to social pressure. Garden Princess follows Princess Adela, a girl who would much rather get her hands dirty in a garden than attend a fancy ball. When she discovers a magical mystery involving an enchanted garden and a talking magpie, she must use her unique knowledge of plants to uncover the truth and save those in trouble. It is a gentle but engaging story that celebrates being true to oneself and the quiet bravery required to stand up against injustice. Perfectly suited for independent readers aged 8 to 12, it offers a sophisticated blend of mystery and fantasy without being overly dark or frightening. It is an ideal choice for nurturing a child's sense of wonder and reinforcing the value of their individual talents.
