<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Prince Liam. Prince Frederick. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You've never heard of them, but you've probably heard of Prince Charming, the guy who rides in at the last minute to save the girl. Well that's them, all four of them. They are all Prince Charmings. Only in reality, they are a little less heroic than you might expect. When Prince Liam is kidnapped and forced to marry the evil Briar Rose, they must unite again to save him. But can they really overcome their differences for long enough to save the day again? With The Bandit King, an evil warlord, and Briar Rose all working against them, they may need a little help from the Princesses this time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Your favorite princes and princesses are back in the hilarious and action-packed sequel to the breakout hit <em>The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom</em> by author Christopher Healy, which the <em>New York Times</em> selected as one of its best books of the year.</p><p>Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You remember them, don't you? They're the Princes Charming, who finally got some credit after they stepped out of the shadows of their princesses--Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Briar Rose--to defeat an evil witch bent on destroying all their kingdoms. But alas, such fame and recognition only last so long. And when the princes discover that an object of great power might fall into any number of wrong hands, they are going to have to once again band together to stop it from happening--even if no one will ever know it was they who did it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>Prince Liam.

While the wacky comedy and witty wordplay is broken up by emotional growth and romantic story arcs, laughter takes precedence."--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em><br><br>"Filled with witty banter, new and amusing characters, much seat-of-your-pants action, cartoony illustrations, and more clever references to fairy-tale tropes, this hefty installment is certain to keep fans of the first book happily entertained and, since it ends with a significant cliffhanger, eager for more."--The Horn Book<br><br>"Uproarious adventure follows, with plenty of action and hilarious dialogue, as well as some deeper insights into the princes, princesses, and villains.
