Goodreads

A graphic novel in three stories. This is a collection of three adventures of Princess Robin involving kidnappers, witches, and pirates. She simply cannot resist adventure, much to her parents chagrin. This is a very quirky story with lots of twists, turns, and humor. The reader is also asked to participate by solving a puzzle, turning the book, etc. The heavily colored, high contrast illustrations are busy and detailed, and add additional context to the story. This book is best for 3rd-5th grade readers who enjoy adventure that isn’t too scary and that has a bit of wit and humor.
