Laurel Decher

The joys we discover early can turn into life-long fascinations. That's why my books challenge 9-to-12-year-old readers to open all the doors in their lives!

Until we reach retirement age, most of us will never again have a window of time, energy, and brain power like this.

Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales are about enjoying reading superpowers, imagining delightfully silly places, and discovering life's possibilities.

Read the books in any order. :)

Laurel Decher lives on the outskirts of a mid-sized city in Germany, between a medieval chapel on the St. James' Way and a boundary marker tree carved with a scary face. It's a little surprising, since she expected to live in Vermont for the rest of her life. You just never know when adventure will call!

The nameless princess has to learn to make herself heard to save the kingdom from the Blackfly Queen in TROUBLE WITH PARSNIPS!

In LOST WITH LEEKS, the constantly lost Prince Nero must find his true North to rescue St. Nicholas before it's too late!

When baby dragons start multiplying, the Saffron twins, Princess Saffy and Prince Magellan face trials, tests, and challenging new schools to save them in UNDER PRESSURE WITH A SQUASH: The Multiplication Problem!

RULE TROUBLE: The Mystery of the Illegal Dragon features the Saffron twins, their now illegal baby dragon, and their "former" friend, Prince Vlad, the new judge of the youth court!

When the Blackfly Queen decides to introduce a new holiday and magical rude hearts, things start buzzing all over the Seven Kingdoms in TROUBLE AT THE VALENTINE FACTORY!

Prince William is secretly a comic strip artist and one of his comics (and possibly some of his cooking in the family's restaurant?!?) has just caused a giant invasion in GIANT TROUBLE: The Mystery of the Magic Beans!
