Prince Carlos is on a terrifying mission: to rescue a princess trapped in a tower. Carlos soon discovers that rescuing a damsel in distress requires a damsel who's actually "in" distress. This princess doesn't need to be rescued--and she definitely doesn't need a prince charming. Illustrations. 1/2.

Prince Charming is supposed to rescue a princess--but she has other ideas.

The youngest in a long line of Prince Charmings, Carlos is juggling a lot. That is, he is spending his time juggling balls in the air--instead of doing his princely duties.

But now he has a terrifying mission: There's a princess trapped in a tower--the Tallest Tower, on Witch Island, surrounded by Witch Lake. You don't need me to tell you how scary that sounds.

But Carlos soon discovers that rescuing a damsel in distress requires a damsel who's in distress. This princess doesn't need to be rescued--and definitely doesn't need a prince charming.

Her Royal Slyness by Roy L. Hinuss is the second illustrated chapter book in the hilarious new series about how hard it can be to live up to the fairy tale.
