Description

A hilarious tale where one girl adventures to fairy land but it's not the fairy tale journey you expect...

I know what you're thinking: "Can she talk to animals?" Yes, those chatty woodland creatures won't shut up. It's not as cute as you'd think.

What's an Adventurer, You Ask?

An underappreciated girl like me who travels around to magical Kingdoms saving creatures you don't even know exist. And trust me, they need a lot of help.

My new missions is in the Land of Tales (the crazy place all fairy tales come from) to face off with an evil witch and complete Three Impossible Tasks. Easy, right?

Being an adventurer is no fairy tale, but this is one mission I can't fail.

--Jenny the Adventurer

Reviews

"Not only a fantasy, but it was also funny. You get the sense it's going to make you laugh right away. " -- Literary Rambles
"Returning with her deliciously droll wit and a brand new mission for her now-thirteen-year-old heroine, Anna delivers another breezy magical romp . . . the joking tone and thoughtful fairy tale play make this a fresh middle-grade read. " -- Horn Book online
"Staniszewski again keeps her tone light and frothy with plenty of wry humor . . . Middle school friendships offer a nice theme, as does Jenny's casual acceptance of her fantasy life . . . Flippant fantasy fun. " -- Kirkus Reviews
