Summary
Add a SummaryMeet Princes Liam, Frederic, Duncan, and Gustav. If their names don’t ring a bell with you, don’t be too surprised. Known better by their pseudonym “Prince Charming” the princes are a bit peeved at the lousy P.R. their adventures have garnered them. The bards have found that their stories tell well when the girls get all the credit (and actual names) and it isn’t just the princes that are out of sorts. A local witch is more than a little upset, and that anger may have something to do with the slow disappearance of the bards themselves. Now it’s up to our four heroes, brought together through the strangest of circumstances, to band together to defeat an evil witch, defeat a giant or two, outwit bandits, and generally find a way to make their faults into strengths.

Book Trailer for The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom
Prince Liam. Prince Frederick. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You've never heard of them, have you? And you know why? Revisionist history. These are the princes who saved Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, and Rapunzel, respectively, and yet they were completely glossed over in the versions of their tales that became popular. Thus, you likely know them only as "Prince Charming."

Add a CommentThere is lots of action in this story but still it does not turn to violence. The villains are incompetent and the Prince Charmings are amusingly heroic. The Princesses swoop in to save the day more than once and the happily ever aftering is nicely accomplished with no need for the usual marriages.
These are fairytales for folks who love Disney, hate Disney, love fractured fairytales, love the original fairytales, and/or just like a good story in general. It’s perfect bedtime fare and ideal for those kids who want something amusing to read on their own. You know when a kid walks up to you and says they want a “funny” book? This is for them as well. Basically it’s for everyone, fantasy fans and fantasy haters alike. If ever you feel sick of the sheer seriousness of some fantasies (*cough* Eragon *cough*), this is a book for you too. Put it on your To Read list and pronto.
great book! tottally awesome and perfect for teens! loved the pics sprinkled thru. GREAT characters that all came alive and real off the page. total reccomend for some fun, light reading.
It's quite good~ The characters are really funny and go well together! The way it's written is awesome. There are a few scenes where I just could not stop laughing! IT WAS SO FUNNYYYY! The epilogue was kinda, meh, not so interesting, but the story as whole is great! Premise is cool too~ A little thicker than I expected for the premise, but lots of fun to read~
Lots of fun to read for anyone who likes fractured fairy tales!
very interesting/funny!!! :D
