New Book Release With Prizes

Great prizes to be won in multiple events. Introducing Sir Princess Petra's Mission, book three in the multi-award winning fantasy/adventure The Pen Pieyu Adventures series.

Sir Princess Petra has already attained her Knighthood  in the Kingdom of Pen Pieyu and her non-princess-like Talent Certificate from Talent School, neither of which pleases her father, the king.

The king writes up more silly rules in the royal rule book to deter Sir Princess Petra from her knightly ways and useless talent , and turn her into a real princess once and for all.

Will the king finally succeed with this newly written, ridiculous  mission for Petra?

Endorsement for Sir Princess Petra's Mission:  "Diane M. Robinson has created a heroine unlike any other in children’s literature. Sir Princess Petra sets a fine example for young readers, and for young girls, as the Princess teaches them what’s really important, like friends, being true, brave, honest, and always having faith in your Dragon! Ms. Robinson sets the bar by writing a truly charming and imaginative adventure series and I heartily recommend it."

Jeanne E. Rogers, Author of the award winning middle grade fantasy, The Sword of Demelza.

Awards, Grade 4th-6th.

Sue Morris, Kid Lit Reviews rated it 5 of 5 stars

Petra is a great role model for girls. There are many oddball characters, some silly situations,and a pair of determined parents. Attempts to control a strong-headed, yet kind and caring almost ten-year-old royal brings about goofy humor kids will like. Sir Princess Petra’s Talent is a story worth remembering.

C.L. Murphy rated it 5 of 5 stars

Sir Princess Petra and her motley crew's antics will surely delight the adventurous spirit in all who dream of dragons and witches and not so run-of-the-mill princesses! A delight to read aloud!

Julie Grasso rated it 5 of 5 stars

This was a wonderful story, where we see Petra's beautiful personality develop even further. I absolutely adore Petra's innocent antics, making this a super clean and appropriate read for children aged 5-8. I loved the story that Petra told, it was magical and I can definitely see a spin off book., hehe. The illustrations throughout the book again are enchanting.
We loved it, and give this second book in Ms Robinson's tales, 5 stars. 

Erik This Kid Reviews Books rated it 5 of 5 stars

This is a great sequel to “Sir Princess Petra!” There is action, romance (that Petra hates – apparently some guy is supposed to marry her, and he doesn’t want to, and Petra doesn’t want to marry him, so they call the thing off), excitement, burning buildings (Snarls, Petra’s friend and trusty steed, is a dragon…), and a lot of fun! I like the character of King Asterman, the guy who runs the Talent School. I really enjoyed the dialogue in the book. It made it fun to read. I love the character of Princess Petra! I like that she doesn’t want to be the girly princess!
