The Princetta

Shipwrecks, shark attacks, barbarians, and mysterious archipelagos await readers in this lavish fantasy-adventure written by one of France's most celebrated authors.

Anne-Laure Bondoux has written many books for children and adults in her native France, including the Linus Hoppe books and The People of the Rats trilogy. A former educator and journalist, she lives in Paris with her two children.

"Do not be fooled by a mundane plot description, Bondoux, author of the Linus Hoppe series, creates a novel that transcends both gender appeal and genre. Boys and girls will love this tale that sails past the boundaries of traditional fantasy. . . .The writing is luminous, and the potential for discussion immense. It is a highly original treasure waiting to be discovered." --VOYA "This swashbuckling fantasy is chockfull of action, as the Princetta and her followers encounter sharks, pirates, fierce gales, monsters, evil villains and temptation.  Rich descriptive language ... [a] page-turner." --Booklist
