Another great addition to the science fairytale series.
In this book, a Princess has to rescue her sister from a dragon, with help from a ghost cat and fairy godmothers, and using scientific knowledge gained from magical encounters with familiar names, like Aristotle, Galileo, Newton, Kepler, and Einstein.
It is a different set up than the previous books and considerably longer story. The other books had a 40ish page story and then another 40ish pages of biography and explanation of the Scifi fix equations mentioned. This book is a nearly 200 page story with discussion points and explanations following each chapter.
⚠️ Parental Warnings ⚠️
“Disembodied writers” (of the above mentioned scientists) appear like ghosts when their books are opened, and communicate with our protagonist to assist with learning.

This was my favorite of the physics series. Great story, characters, and gives context for principles of gravity in a way kids can grasp.
