Purchase options and add-ons

Once upon a time, on the Old Tumbledown Farm, in The Middle of Nowhere, in the Forgotten Corner of the Kingdom, two sisters are still arguing over their destinies. Sadly, neither of their plans are really working. Eliza's archery skills are dangerous to everything but the target, and her trusty steed is merely their goat, Gertrude. Meanwhile, a sudden rash of royal weddings has sabotaged Lavender's plan to marry a prince.

Obviously, magic is the only answer. One rash Thumbelina-inspired wish on a magical snail later, and the Old Tumbledown Farm is suddenly a giant's birthday present-and this giant is not willing to let go of her new toys. Can Eliza and Lavender actually work together to come up with a cunning escape plan or will Lavender be too distracted by the sudden appearance of a handsome prince?

Hold on to your socks (or Gertrude will eat them!) as author Sarah Courtauld delivers everything fans of fractured fairytales could want from magic and princes to battling giants and cantankerous goats in Buckle and Squash!

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This cross between a fractured fairy tale and any of Roald Dahl's zany adventures is the first installment in the "Buckle and Squash" series. Witty writing combined with a cast of characters that are as ridiculous as they are memorable-rendered in black-and-white drawings throughout-makes for ... a fun read for chapter book and younger middle grade readers.” ―School Library Journal on Buckle and Squash: The Perilous Princess Plot

“Absurdity reigns in Courtauld's boisterous, logic-warping fantasy ... Abundant wordplay, sarcastic footnotes, and a slew of out-of-left-field jokes make this book ideal for fans of Dav Pilkey, Andy Griffiths, or Lois Lowry's The Willoughbys.” ―Publishers Weekly on Buckle and Squash: The Perilous Princess Plot

“This mixed-up fairy tale has everything readers could want, including adventure, danger, and a cantankerous goat....Just right for readers who like their princess stories with a large dose of humor.” ―Booklist on The Perilous Princess Plot

“This gleefully absurd British import packs both witty wordplay and potty humor.... Fans of Captain Underpants may find that fairy-tale send-ups can be just as giggle-inducing as superhero satire.” ―BCCB on The Perilous Princess Plot
