Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You remember them, don't you? They're the Princes Charming who finally got some credit after they stepped out of the shadows of their princesses - Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Briar Rose - to defeat an evil witch bent on destroying all their kingdoms.

But alas, such fame and recognition only last so long. And when the princes discover that an object of great power might fall into any number of wrong hands, they are going to have to once again band together to stop it from happening - even if no one will ever know it was they who did it.

Christopher Healy, author of the acclaimed The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, takes us back to the hilariously fractured fairy-tale world he created for another tale of medieval mischief. Magical gemstones, bladejaw eels, a mysterious Gray Phantom, and two maniacal warlords bent on world domination - it's all in a day's work for the League of Princes.

   Exploding with humor, adventure, and excitement, THE HERO'S GUIDE TO STORMING THE CASTLE is a book you can't miss out on. Christopher Healy deftly weaves a tale of humor, politics, and the truth behind the Princes Charming.

   The League of Princes is back, and ready for adventure, well nearly all of them. They've been forced by the evil Briar Rose, who also happens to be Prince Liam's future wife, to retrieve the Sword of Erinthia from falling into the hands of Reeb Dauber, the infamous bandit king - who also helped shame the Princes. Filled with trolls, giants, princesses, a circus, and two evil warlords bent on ruling the world, The League of Princes are ready to take on the world. Sort of.

   Admit it guys, we all need a break from those terrifically (saddening) YA novels. Which is why you definitely need to get your hands on the first and second book in this amazing series. What I like most about this book? You don't have to read the first book to understand this one. Christopher Healy manages to weave and explain the characters and still write an incredibly hilarious story.

   There's absolutely nothing negative about THE HERO'S GUIDE TO STORMING THE CASTLE. The characters and story leave an impression on you, and I can't wait for the third book in this hilarious trilogy.
