Box of Hair: A Fairy Tale [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: January 22, 2008

In the tallest tower of Castle Underbrook, Princess Carrina sat quietly on her window ledge watching the fading colours of the sunset. Actually, she spent most days locked away in her room, too scared to leave the castle. A strange magical power was growing inside her but she had no idea what it was or how to use it.

To the far north, in an ancient cottage buried deep within the woods, an evil ugly witch and her sister were brewing up a dastardly plot. They were going to kidnap the royal princess and steal her beauty for themselves!

In the southern part of the kingdom, a fiery-haired boy named Flame was having an adventure of his own, as he searched and searched for the source of the great river while battling boredom and the terrifying rapids.

Will Flame be able to save the princess from the clutches of the evil witch?

Will they be able to uncover the mystery of magic and unlock the Box of Hair?

Box of Hair, a fairy tale is the first of three delightful magical adventures with Princess Carrina and her friends. The story continues in The Venus Diary (spring 2008) and concludes in The Dragons of Tarnack (fall 2008). While these books were written for young readers to enjoy, they are suitable for children of all ages.

This review is from: Box of Hair: A Fairy Tale (Paperback)

Box of Hair is truly an original piece by a truly original author. Heath Buckmaster has succeeded in creating a story full of situations that are charming and unique. The storyline is easy to follow and entertaining with surprises and twists that keep the reader captive (no matter what their age). This reader is eager for the next installment (The Venus Diary) to continue sharing in the adventures of Princess Carrina, Flame, and the many characters met along the way.
