Trouble at the Valentine Factory

"Gr 4-7-Decher's fourth book in the "Seven Kingdoms" series is a zany story of ingenuity and collaboration." --Jen McConnel, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL



Will the Seven Kingdoms be the friendliest place in the world? Or the rudest?¿

The eleven-year-old royal Saffron twins-Princess Saffy and Prince Magellan--have to save the Seven Kingdoms from the Blackfly Queen's dangerous new magical candies!

The trouble starts when the Blackfly Queen introduces a brand-new holiday guaranteed to make her the most beloved queen in the Seven Kingdoms: Valentine's Day!?!¿

This year, Valentine's Day falls on the same day as the Rose Monday Parade. Instead of delighting the crowds with traditional candies, the queen has a dastardly plan. She's making Consternation Hearts with magical powers, a.k.a. candy hearts with messages good for every day of the year. . .like "Go to the Water Dungeon!"
