In Heir Apparent there are as many ways to win as there are to get killed. Giannine can testify to how many ways there are to die--it's about all she's been able to do since she started playing. Now all she has to do is get the magic ring, find the stolen treasure, answer the dwarf's dumb riddles, come up with a poem for the head-chopping statue, cope with the army of ghosts, outmaneuver her half brothers, and defeat the man-eating dragon.
If she can do all of that, why, she just might save her own life!

"It can be a little hard to keep track of all the people and the plotting, but hilarious characters (like a sweet-talking barbarian king and a centipede-eating wizard) plus fantastical elements (e.g., a hat that 'lets you avoid the time stream [so that you can] keep moving when all about you is still') will spur readers on toward the satisfying conclusion."

Publishers Weekly, 09/16/2002

"Vande Velde blends science fiction and fantasy into a frothy concoction; the reader's thirst for adventure will be thoroughly quenched."

Janice M. Del Negro, Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, December 2002
