The Fort
by Laura Perdew (Author) Adelina Lirius (Illustrator)
A prince planning a feast in his castle and a pirate preparing her ship for a treasure hunt clash after learning they share a fort, but soon imagine a new adventure for two.
Can a pirate and a prince learn to share? In the fort in the woods, a prince is preparing his castle for a lively feast for the royal kingdom. Unbeknownst to him, a pirate uses the same fort as her ship, planning to venture out to the open seas in search of treasure. But when a treasure map appears on the prince's party invitations, and the pirate finds that her sword has turned into a scepter, they realize there is an intruder in the castle--no, ship!
Soon, a battle over the fort between the adversaries ensues, leading to a humorous showdown. When they make amends, their amazing imaginations come up with a new adventure...together. Kids will revel in the spirited and imaginative battle and be thrilled by the turn of events.
Dynamic and charismatic illustrations bring this witty tale and its celebration of sharing and teamwork to life.
