Princess Zoe And The Wishing Shell

Each princess is granted a wish, as an end-of-term treat.

As a fairy tale writer, Gavin empowers his protagonists with magic. In real life, he longs to deploy it and wishes to believe in it doubtlessly as his young readers do. He believes his wife has got lost in the Fairyland he creates. He is obsessed to find her there and bring her back. One day, absent-mindedly or desirably he writes his protagonist, Long, out from ancient China through the power of a magic feather he created for this poor painter. Gavin borrows the feather and enters into his imagined story world. Long discovers the power to write someone’s fate and has got his chance. But both men are now trapped in a place they don’t belong. Two different worlds, different adventures they are going to experience but it is the inspiration from the same person – Zoe, Gavin’s eight year old daughter that rescues them, body and mind.

The princesses are finishing up their studies at Silver Towers, where they earn tiara points that lead to graduating with silver sashes. In these entries, Princess Sophia befriends a shy prince, while Princess Emily saves the day when the twins get into a fight at the Wishing Star ceremony. Illustrations.

A perfect summertime read for fans of John Green, Stephanie Perkins, and Sarah Dessen: It was Sloane who yanked Emily out of her shell and made life 100% interesting. But right before what should have been the most epic summer, Sloane just…disappears. All she leaves behind is a to-do list. On it, thirteen Sloane-inspired tasks that Emily would normally never try. But what if they could bring her best friend back? Apple picking at night? Okay, easy enough. Dance until dawn? Sure. Why not? Kiss a stranger? Um... Emily now has this unexpected summer, and the help of Frank Porter (totally unexpected), to check things off Sloane's list. Who knows what she’ll find?
