EDITORIAL REVIEWS "Kids will love every quirky thing about it!"--Kristi Wientge, author, KARMA KHULLAR'S MUSTACHE "I love the premise of hiding in plain sight. The concept that a kid could go through childhood - and life - without feeling they are being heard or seen is such an important topic . . . I know a lot of kids will be drawn to this!"--Halli Gomez, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK "Emotionally engaging. I feel much sympathy for [the nameless princess], yet at the same time her parents and all their inadequacies are so endearing."--Michelle Leonard, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: STORIES OF GIRLS WHO SCIENCE AND SCHEME, Young Adult (Sci-Fi Anthology for ages 12+)

Autorenporträt

LAUREL DECHER lives on the outskirts of a mid-sized city in Germany, between a medieval chapel on St. James' Way and a boundary marker tree complete with scary face. It's a little surprising, since she expected to live in Vermont for the rest of her life. You just never know when adventure will call! Beim Besuch in Cochem habe ich diesen Pegelturm mit seinem gesichtsähnlichen Ausdruck gesehen. Am selben Tag flogen Dohlen um die Reichsburg Cochem und die märchenhafte Stimmung hat mich gepackt.
