The Curious Crown

Best-selling author Megan Hess shines with a glorious original fairy tale about a legendary crown and the girl who needs to borrow it for a festive miracle…

As the snow swirls on Christmas Eve, young Ella Rose gazes out the palace window and sees a boy whose own tree is bare. Her family's Christmas tree is laden with baubles, and she wants to share some with him - but when she goes to leave, it's freezing outside, and the weather is fierce.

However, Ella Rose dreams of being fierce, too. In her palace, under lock and key, is a magical crown that once belonged to her mother. If she borrows it - just for one night - will it give her the courage, strength and creativity she needs to help this boy?

This is the third wondrous picture book in Megan Hess's Young Queens Collection, a series of original fairytales about young girls coming into their own power. Every girl has a queen inside!
