Sir Princess Petra - The Pen Pieyu Adventures

Children/Young Adult; Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror; (Market)

Princess Petra's unusual birthday request sends the royal court into a frenzy, but when she agrees to undertake a knight's quest they can't stop her. Armed with a cake knife and outfitted in the best royal pots and pans, Petra sets off to face a dragon and win her real armor before encountering a bog witch, and an army of the kingdom's worst enemies. Will Petra's kindness and acceptance prove to be more valuable than weapons and armor?

5 Stars. What a wonderful story. You don't get many books that can teach qualities such as, respect, friendship and trust. This book does that simply by showing through a lovely story.

Any child will love this. It's funny, innocent, charming and has some great pencil drawings to help the reader or listener to visualise what is happening.

The author has a great gift at story telling, without telling you how or what you should do to learn the skills that the the story teaches. The main character of the book, Petra, shows you what to do when she is placed in certain situations which require her to use her head and not her makeshift sword.

We can all learn something from this story. If you have a child or have children, I encourage you to get a copy of this book and read it to them.

I hope there are many more Petra adventures in the future.

This book is next to my copy of Aesop's Fables.

5 Stars. Petra is a princess - but not just an ordinary princess. Petra has ambition. Bored with her usual gifts of frocks and jewellery, when her birthday comes around and she can choose what she wants, Petra decides she wants to be a Royal Knight. Her astounded parents turn in hope to the royal rulebook to find a way out of this dilemma. But alas, there is no rule that says she can't be a Knight.
Hoping to discourage her, her father tells her of the challenges she must face to achieve her lofty ambition. To his utter amazement, she decides that she would rather hush the howling dragon in the Forest of Doom than one of the other alternatives - eat a bag of onions.

How Petra completes this deed and the events that follow will have the reader laughing and cringing in turn.

Sir Princess Petra is an enchanting, fun story that I'm sure children will love. But it is a fun story with a deep message. It is a story of belief in yourself, courage to face adversity to achieve what you want to be, and how kindness and understanding are better than brute force and fighting.

The writing is lively and well executed and the illustrations are skilfully drawn and add to the story's appeal.
I will certainly be buying this book for my granddaughter. She will love it.

Review by Children's Book Reviewer

5 Stars. Princess Petra was no ordinary princess. Nope, she didn't like girly things at all. What she wanted was to become a knight. Well, the chance for a girl to become a knight was slim but within her grasp. Her father allows her to try by fighting a dragon named Snarls to stop him from howling at the moon, keeping them all up at night.

Where other knights have failed, Petra succeeds. She shows the reader that we don't have to fight someone in order to win. Sometimes just treating someone with respect by listening to what they have to say and then coming up with an agreeable solution is enough.

Given the fact that Petra comes across some interestingly strange new friends, she shows the reader how to respect and appreciate an individuals uniqueness. Together, they start a new wave of acceptance in her father's kingdom.

Ms. Robinson has created an interesting and delightful tale about acceptance and understanding. Her characters are fun and children will enjoy the spunkyness of Petra. She shows common sense and reason, unlike her father who would rather use brute strength and malice to solve problems. Children will see how problems can be solved in different ways.

Children 7 and up will love this unique 68 page chapter book. Children will be anxiously awaiting the other books in The Pen Pieyu Adventure series, wondering what Petra will be up to next

5 Stars. Sir Princess Petra - The Pen Pieyu Adventures by Diane Mae Robinson is about a charming story that teaches children that friendship and acceptance are often times your best weapon.

Princess Petra is having a birthday and she has just one request, she wants to be knighted. Her parents are aghast, but Princess Petra stands her ground and reluctantly the King sends her on a quest. Outfitted with pots and pans and armed with a cake knife Petra sets out to hush the howling dragon. Will Petra succeed and be knighted for her birthday? Follow the princess on her journey as she discovers that in order to be a knight she must defeat her enemies with kindness and she may even makes new friends along the way.

Sir Princess Petra - The Pen Pieyu Adventures is a tale full of adventure and humor with a charismatic main character who has a lot of heart.

University of Manitoba Book Reviews

5 stars. Sir Princess Petra is a delightfully imaginative storytime read and re-read. Petra's character is both confident and charismatic. Her good nature conquers the friendship of Snarls, the dragon, and other characters in the Forest of Doom. I highly recommend Sir Princess Petra.
