3rd Dimension of the Lost Socks: The Adventures of Princess Ramele and Prince Peter, Vol. 1
Missing laundry has a destination—and for ten-year-old royal twins Prince Peter and Princess Ramele, it leads somewhere entirely unexpected.
When Peter’s special binoculars reveal a shimmering portal within the water, the twins and their wise instructor, Wizard Mervyn, embark on a journey that takes them far beyond the Kingdom of Orqueh.
They tumble into the Land of the Lost Socks, a whimsical realm where socks have lives, jobs, and personalities of their own. But this fabric-filled world is in peril. A severe drought has disrupted the ecosystem, drying up the rivers, as a result of a breakdown in the social harmony between the Socks and their aquatic neighbors, the Sponges.
The lack of moisture has given rise to Thales the Menace—a terrifying monster born of uncontrolled static electricity that threatens to consume every inhabitant. To save their new friends, Ramele and Peter must use more than just bravery; they must apply their lessons in science and diplomacy. Can the twins restore the water cycle and neutralize the static monster?
Ideal for readers ages 8–12, this opening installment establishes a richly imagined world with clear stakes and themes well suited for classroom discussion and independent reading.

I am 10. My favorite part was when the socks captured Thales and saved sock kind. It’s not a 5 because there were to many words I did not know how to say or what it meant. I loved all of the characters especial Lady Ruby the spa sock because she probably looks really cute and wearing red or is a red sock which is my favorite color.

2.5 stars for the lack of editing, but easily 3 stars for the fun story.
Criticisms first: I was thrown off by some of the big words used in what seems to be a younger kids book, while at the same time other words were misused or misspelled (including a character’s name a couple times, and not a complicated one). The conversations felt a bit clunky at times as well.
Also, few bits were overly text-book-educational in my opinion, but perhaps that was intentional, in which case it just needed a little massaging to not feel out of place.
However, the characters are sweet, and I am interested enough to try the second one, partially to see if anyone helped with the editing on the second go-round.
It’s also very fun that stories the author made up for her kids are now in print, and can be shared with others!

This is a review of 3rd Dimension of the Lost Socks by Mona Leung, the first in The Adventures of Princess Ramele and Prince Peter series. I read extensively in many genres - in all age ranges - and fantasy is one of the predominant ones. This story looked cute and was available free on Amazon, so I decided to try it.
The story begins “Once upon a time, there was a land known as Porqueh. Many things, magical or scientific, could happen in Porqueh. It was a place of possibilities. A place of things fantastic and of things dangerous and dark.” This was a fun way to start, expecting anything fantastical to happen.
First, I think it could have gone through more editing, because there are several typos and a few places where the writing could be made to flow more smoothly. The product details says ages 8-18, but I think it should be 8-10. The book says the parents are hands-off, so the 10-year-old children can do all the adventuring they want. I think it might have been better to make the parents seem a little more involved, although the wizard is accompanying them which means an adult is present.
So, I like the aspects of bravery, curiosity, and teamwork. I like that they negotiate with others and accomplish a multi-step plan to solve the problem. I like that the children love libraries - I did as a child and still do. The book also includes educational aspects, such as information about static electricity and the rain cycle. I thought it was cute that there is a realm for lost socks, and that some socks intentionally leave the other of their pair to lead independent lives.
I enjoyed it and would rate it 3 stars.

This was a quick fun read with the kids in terms of concept and story. The whimsy was noted and it was generally fun. Very creative concept. Where it lost both me and my first and fifth graders was the stilted dialogue. To quote my six year old “they sound like they’re having a biggest word contest, but nobody is winning”. It comes across as the author attempting to avoid speaking down to children, and over compensating as a result.

Wouldn’t pick again
I wanted to like this book. The idea is a cute one. Kids go to the world where all the lost socks end up in. I mean the story isn’t awful. It just isn’t good.
For a kids book there are parts of it where the vocabulary is way beyond what most adults comprehend.
If you’re going to have an old wizard, come up with a name not as close to Merlin. That was way too obvious.
I definitely won’t be rereading this and wouldn’t recommend it.

Fun, whimsical adventure!
This really is such a clever and magical story. The world-building is super creative, funny character names, imaginative settings, and even a villain made of static electricity! I loved how the adventure mixes humor, action, and lessons about courage and teamwork without ever feeling heavy.
