The Curious Crown

From the creator of Claris: the Chicest Mouse in Paris comes this glorious original fairy tale about a legendary crown, and the girl who needs to borrow it for a festive miracle …

As the snow swirls on Christmas Eve, young Ella Rose gazes out the palace window and sees a boy whose own tree is bare. Her family's Christmas tree is laden with baubles, and she wants to share some with him – but when she goes to leave, it's freezing outside, and the weather is fierce.

However, Ella Rose dreams of being fierce, too. In her palace, under lock and key, is a magical crown that once belonged to her mother. If she borrows it – just for one night – will it give her the courage, strength and creativity she needs to help this boy?
