Iron Hearted Violet - Premium Heart-Shaped Iron Jewelry for Women | Perfect for Valentine's Day Gifts, Anniversary Presents & Romantic Occasions

A 2012 Andre Norton Award Finalist ★ A Parents' Choice Gold Award Winner Newbery Medal-winning author of The Girl Who Drank the Moon Kelly Barnhill spins a wondrously different kind of fairy-tale: In most fairy tales, princesses are beautiful, dragons are terrifying, and stories are harmless. But this isn't most fairy tales... Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A forbidden book. It tells a story of an evil being, called the Nybbas, imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true—not really. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon-the last dragon in existence, in fact-may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules. Iron Hearted Violet is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom."Wonderful read-aloud potential...with a likable hero and heroine, a well-paced plot, and a daunting villain."―BooklistDON’T MISS THESE OTHER ACCLAIMED BOOKS BY KELLY BARNHILL:The Mostly True Story of JackThe Witch’s BoyThe Girl Who Drank the MoonThe Ogress and the Orphans
