Jemima Pett

The Princelings of the North Jemima Pett

Princelings Dylan and Dougall of Castle Haunn find a map inside a bottle. When they follow its clues to rescue Prince Kevin, exiled by his wicked uncle to prevent him taking his throne, Dylan sees a chance for an adventure. The only trouble is, how on earth can they travel the length of the lands and displace the new owner of Kevin's castle, the dastardly Lord Smallweed? Book 8 of the Princelings of the East series shows that bandits and pirates have their uses, and maybe society is changing too fast for those in charge to keep up. Lovers of the series will probably rate this the best yet. New readers could jump in here without too much difficulty, although Kevin first appears in book 5 - another good place to start. Suitable for good readers aged 10 and upwards.
