A Quest for Good Manners
Written by Karin Lefranc, Illustrated by Hannah Neale

“What’s the big deal with manners anyway?” Princess Rosalind asks. “Why do we always have to say please and thank you? And who cares how we use a napkin?”

Appalled by the rude behavior of Rosalind and her pet dragon, Sparkler, the queen banishes them from the castle until they can find Good Manners. Percival, the wizard, sends them on their quest with the help of a magic fork. They face several challenges along the way. However, not until the final test do they discover the real secret behind Good Manners.
