In a magical kingdom, there lives a king with 12 beautiful daughters. Every night, the princesses disappear to dance. The king is mystified, so he issues a challenge: Anyone who can discover the princesses' secret ballroom will win one of their hands in marriage! Can a young soldier discover the truth? Adapting the classic Brothers Grimm tale for readers 4 to 8, Alessia Trunfio uses soft pastel tints to create an enchanted world.
