The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom | Christopher Healy
Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. Youve never heard of them, have you? These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, respectively, and yet, thanks to those lousy bards who wrote the tales, you likely know them only as Prince Charming. But all of this is about to change. Rejected by their princesses and cast out of their castles, the princes stumble upon an evil plot that could endanger each of their kingdoms. Now its up to them to triumph over their various shortcomings, take on trolls, bandits, dragons, witches, and other assorted terrors, and become the heroes no one ever thought they could be. Christopher Healys Heros Guide to Saving Your Kingdom is a completely original take on the world of fairy tales, the truth about what happens after happily ever after. Its a must-have for middle grade readers who enjoy their fantasy adventures mixed with the humor of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Witty black-and-white drawings by Todd Harris add to the fun.

This was such a fun middle-grade read! I‘ll be getting the rest of the series from my library once I read some of my other library books 😊 Definitely recommend if you‘re looking for a light-hearted read!

I loved absolutely everything about this fractured fairy tale!
The Princes Charming from four different fairy tales band together to take on giants, a witch, trolls, a dragon... as well as princesses, each other and, themselves!
Bronson Pinchot clearly had a great time performing the story and even though it‘s targeted to 9-12 year-olds, I can‘t wait to get to the next two books in the series!

A fun take on the fairy tales we have all grown up with! When things don‘t go the way they want it to for the princes charming adventure and hilarity ensue! I giggled my way through this and look forward to reading more of these!

The four Princes Charming don‘t get the “happily ever afters” you might think and instead, wind up on a hilarious adventure that reimagines the “after” of all their fairytales. The story is a lot of fun with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments, adding diverse personalities to familiar characters, and I‘m so glad I read it, thanks to the recommendation of my sister-in-law.

Zelma I really liked this one too. Haven‘t read the rest of the series but this was delightful! 7y

In fantasy if you save the kingdom you normally save the world. Not sure about this series because they also storm the castle and become outlaws. #savetheworld #anditsaugust

"Eyeing smugly was something the pair excelled in. They'd actually shared the title of Best Smug Eyers in their graduating class at bandit school." So enjoying this book! #januaryreads #middlegrade #herosguide

First up for #thankfullyreading weekend. A cups tea and finishing The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom.

bookishnerd Are you enjoying it? I found it fun. 8y
SuziQoregon @bookishnerd I am! It's a lot of fun. I do plan to read the next one too. 8y
bookishnerd I meant to, too. I did the audio of the first and put my Audible membership on hold around then, so just kind of forgot when I turned it back on. Hopefully 2017! 8y

If you have a boy, just get this audiobook now! It is hilarious and silly and the voices are great. My eight year old loves it. I think girls will love it too since the princesses in the story are pretty awesome but the princes are the stars of the show.

Jay: This was a good book. It was really funny and had lots of fighting. I wish there was a movie! #jayreads Me: This was a great read aloud book, with lots of language play and funny bits. The way the author flipped fairy tales on their end was entertaining and clever, and the ending wasn't predictable! We will likely pick up book 2!

Completely fun middle grade book about Prince Charming. Four Princes Charming, to be exact. The book follows the misadventures of four princes from famous fairy tales and has a lot of fun with the genre. A little repetitive but overall a completely enjoyable romp and laugh out loud funny. Plus there are witches, trolls, giants, bandits, thrill-seeking princesses, dwarves, dragons, and more.

Our current bedtime read-aloud. We're big fans of fractured fairy tales!

AlisonCanRead My favorite line in that one was right at the beginning. Prince Charming...Charming isn't a name, it's an adjective. Or something like that. 8y
Caryl @AlisonCanRead I think we just read that line last night! They were arguing about how to pluralize Prince Charming. 👑👑 8y
