The first novel from Kelly Barnhill since her bestselling Newbery Medal winner, The Girl Who Drank the Moon, is another instant fantasy classic. The once-lovely town of Stone-in-the-Glen has fallen on hard times. After relentless fires, floods, and other calamities, they've lost their library, their school, their park, their prosperity. Even their neighborliness is lost. Only the wise and clever children of the Orphan House and the kindly Ogress who lives quietly at the edge of town see clearly how dire things are. The people of Stone-in-the-Glen have put their faith in their Mayor, a dazzling fellow with a bright shock of yellow hair and white teeth, who promises that he alone can solve their problems. After all, he is a famous dragon slayer! At least, no one has ever seen a dragon in the Mayor's presence. One terrible day, a child goes missing from the Orphan House, and the townspeople vow to find her. Thanks to the Mayor's insidious suggestion, all eyes turn to the Ogress. The Orphans know this can't be: it's the Ogress, assisted by a particularly excellent flock of crows, who secretly delivers much-needed gifts to the suffering humans. But how can the Orphans tell the story of the Ogress's goodness to people who listen only to themselves? And how can they make their enraged, deluded neighbors see the real villain in their midst?

Die allerwichtigste Eigenschaft von Märchenprinzessinnen ist es, schön zu sein (was für ein Unsinn!). In dieser Geschichte jedoch ist alles anders. Prinzessin Violet ist vieles: großherzig, mutig und gerecht. Nur schön ist sie nicht. Böse Zungen streuen Zweifel: Kann ein solches Mädchen die rechtmäßige Prinzessin sein? Eines Tages entdeckt Violet im Schloss eine geheime Kammer. Seit ewigen Zeiten schlummert hier ein verbotenes Buch. Wer es liest, weckt ein böses Wesen auf: den Nybbas. Violet kann der Magie des Buches nicht widerstehen und befreit den Nybbas aus seinem Gefängnis. Er bietet der Prinzessin einen Handel an: ewige Schönheit gegen einen klitzekleinen Gefallen. Als ob so etwas jemals gut gegangen wäre ...Ein spannendes Abenteuer über die Macht von Geschichten, die Sehnsucht nach einfachen Antworten - und die heilsame Botschaft, dass am Ende trotzdem das Gute triumphiert.Nach »Das Mädchen, das den Mond trank« ein weiteres brillantes Werk von Kelly Barnhill
