Once upon a time there was a Princess . . . . . . who made a pit stop. While the Birds and Beasts changed her tires, her Fairy Godmother told her she was in last place! With just one lap left! She might as well give up! Give up Not THIS princess! Instead, she hit the gas! Join Her Royal Highness in the driver's seat for a mad dash to the finish in this exciting ode to auto racing. With appearances by fairy tale favorites including the Tortoise and the Hare, the Frog Prince, and ALL of the Wicked Witches, this rollicking mash-up of race cars and royalty is a true celebration of both girl power and horsepower.
"A rollicking mash-up of racing cars and fairytale royalty which smashes princess stereotypes along the way." The Bookseller
"With full-colour graphics in the style of a computer game or comic book, its the pictures that do much of the storytelling in a celebration of both girl power and horsepower." -- BookTrust
