It’s time for the Royal Progress, an elaborate month-long trip during which the Sparrow family will visit ten tales throughout their kingdom to promote goodwill and cordial relationships. Thankfully, everything is all set to run smoothly for once. There are just a few areas of
1. Queen Ginnie is days away from giving birth, and King Matt refuses to leave her side. (Someone needs to convince him to change his mind.) 2. There are so many different protocols and rituals and ceremonies for Princess Lily to navigate that Miss Reed will have her studying during all her down time. (How much sleep does a princess need anyway?) 3. One of the stops will bring Lily face to face with Calo. She hasn’t seen him in three months. (That shouldn’t be awkward at all.) 4. The press are following the Progress closely—eager to report on all of Lily’s failures. (No pressure.) 5. People begin disappearing from the Progress—not the good PR the Sparrows were looking for. (But that’s not Lily’s fault, right?)
Kristee Ravan lives in Oklahoma with her husband, children, and pet cats, Kasidy and Rosie. She wanted to be many things as grew up including a general, an artist, and an architect. But she never bothered to say, “I want to be a writer when I grow up.” She was always writing stories and thought of herself as a writer anyway. She sent her first story to a publisher in the sixth grade. (It was rejected—in a nice way.) When she is not making up stories in her head, she enjoys reading, juggling, playing games with her family, and hearing from her fans.
I always look forward to catching up with Princess Lily’s latest shenanigans! This book takes the reader along the terrific adventure of the Sparrow’s Progress. I thoroughly enjoyed learning the backstories of some of my favorite characters. It is so well written that I feel like I’m right there with Lily.
