Author Information

Laurel Decher writes books about making life more delightful, richer, and more magical by taking advantage of opportunities that scare us (or that we are positive aren't for us.)In the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales, royal kids take on magical challenges that are difficult but worthwhile. When you're on an extraordinary adventure, it's funny how an ordinary thing can help. These smart and friendly heroes and heroines speak up, (and hatch dragons), take tests, (and defeat the Blackfly queen), deal with less than perfect scores, (and cupids), find their way around, (and get lost), stay friends even when they disagree, (and struggle with fairy godparents) and find a way to belong in a new place.Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales are about enjoying reading superpowers, imagining delightfully silly places, and discovering life's possibilities.
