Unstoppable

Beschreibung

When a little girl's hair grows outrageously, one would simply know that a haircut is needed badly. But this option is out for Princess Melina, even though her hair grows unstoppably. Her father, King Fartysand commands that her hair is never to be cut. So, her mother, Queen Laviniya, and her loyal followers take care of the Princess' billowing metres of hair. When they and the Princess defy Fartysand's command in small ways, he unleashes his windy revenge to ensure their obedience. But on her nineteenth birthday, when Fartysand declares the Princess is to be married off, against her wishes, what will she do? Will she find a way to stop the madness and assert herself; free her people; take control of her massive hair, and live happily ever after? Or will she accept her ridiculous fate? This story promises to amuse, captivate and inspire children to think about courage and strength in the face of adversity and power, and appreciate the pursuit of self-empowerment and equality.
