Ghost Princess

Beschreibung

The second book of the Daughters of the Lost King series begins with Tic and Plover's return to Port Town, and their happy reunion with good friends Toadie and Doctor Ngondo. Their happiness fizzles when Tic receives a cryptic message from her sister, Ghost, who has been threatened with a forced marriage to Duke Vaneer's idiotic son, Ralph. With the help of Professor Schmelkopf, and Ghost's true love Jacob, the panic-stricken princess has gone into hiding in Azarule's basement, right under the noses of their enemies. As the plot unfolds and our heroes are sent into battle, Tic and Plover are detoured by a band of pirates-and a mythical beast who unveils secrets about King Phillipe's disappearance. Meanwhile, Duke Vaneer and the Midloathians have usurped the Azarulian throne, while in Polaris, Count Plumdom and Amis must use their new alliance to free the Azarulian Kingdom ... even if it means war.

Autor

Steve Underwood graduated from UNC-Greensboro where he played a little basketball ("a very little"), served as Student Government President, and was the Student Commencement Speaker for his graduation. He enjoyed the University so much, he returned for two more degrees. Steve taught for thirty-three years at the secondary and college level before retiring to become an author. He and his wife live in Sanford with two adopted Plott Hounds. Their real sons live nearby. When they were younger, Jonathan and Alex went on many excursions to old historic sites. Steve has told them, "You may recognize elements of some of those sites and adventures we had when you read this book." As a Middle-Grade reader, Steve loved history, fantasy, and science fiction. "What I remember most were the Classic Illustrated comic books my mother bought for me. I read Shakespeare and Hugo and Twain and dozens of other great writers." He hopes his readers get a chance to do the same. Steve has a published novel, but this is his first Middle-Grade story. "I wanted to write something funny for my young granddaughters," he says, "but Tic and Plover took over the story and made it their own."
