About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the feeling of being misunderstood or unfairly judged based on appearances. This lighthearted adventure is perfect for early readers who are starting to navigate social dynamics where 'the new kid' or the 'outsider' is blamed for things they didn't do. It validates the frustration of being stereotyped while providing a roadmap for how to stand by a friend during a crisis. In this installment, Princess Pulverizer must defend her dragon friend, Dribble, when he is accused of causing trouble in a local village. The story tackles big themes like prejudice, jealousy, and the importance of due process, all wrapped in a humorous fantasy package. It is an ideal bridge for children moving away from picture books into longer narratives, offering relatable emotional stakes without becoming overly heavy or frightening.
