From critically acclaimed author Jessica Lawson comes a wonderfully enchanting adventure (Booklist) about an orphaned twelve-year-old girl who is called upon to save her queendom when she finds a tiny wizard in her pocket.
Lifes never been kind to twelve-year-old Stub. Orphaned and left in the care of the cruel Matron Tratte, Stubs learned that the best way to keep the peace is to do as shes told. No matter that shes bullied and that her only friend is her pet chicken, Peck, Stubs accepted the fact that her life just isnt made for adventure. Then she finds a tiny wizard in her pocket.
Orlen, the royal wizard to Maradons queen, is magically bound to Stub. And its up to her to ferry Orlen back to Maradon Cross, the countrys capital, or else the delicate peace of the queendom will crumble under the power of an evil wizard queen. Suddenly Stubs unexciting life is chock-full of adventure. But how can one orphan girl possibly save the entire queendom
