INTERMEDIATE FICTION
Paquette, Ammi-Joan

Princess Juniper of the Hourglass

(4) 4-6 For her thirteenth "nameday," Princess Juniper asks for a kingdom to rule; she receives a "very small country" and recruits children from home to populate it. All goes fairly well, until her subjects learn their families are in danger--a secret that, when revealed, results in mutiny. At times the book's lightheartedness rings false, but its kid-centric kingdom has appeal.
