About This Book
Reach for this book when your child feels overshadowed by a peer's success or is struggling with the sting of not being chosen for a leadership role. It is a perfect choice for middle-grade readers who are beginning to navigate the social complexities of elementary school competitions and the feeling of being left out. In this eleventh installment of the Whatever After series, Abby and her brother Jonah travel through a magic mirror into the story of The Princess and the Pea. Abby, already reeling from losing a school leadership position to her friend, finds herself in a competition to prove she is a 'real' princess. As she navigates the absurd tests of the Kingdom of Bog, the story explores themes of self-worth, fair play, and the realization that leadership isn't about a title, but about how you treat others. It is a lighthearted, humorous adventure that validates a child's frustration while offering a healthy perspective on resilience.
