I smiled back, reluctantly giving up on my quest for inspiration. “Thanks.”
She winked. “You’re my best icer. I tell Kiri all the time, ‘Why can’t you ice like Sheyda?’ But she says actresses don’t do donuts.” I stifled a giggle as Mrs. Seng frowned. “My own daughter … hating the family business. What am I going to do with that girl?”
Although Ana doesn’t have a dog of her own, she does get to walk her neighbor’s adorable pug, Osito. One day, Osito befriends another dog at the park, who just happens to belong to a cute boy named Calvin. Ana implies Osito is hers, which seems like no big deal—until Calvin shows up at her school! Suddenly, Ana finds her fibs multiplying. Will she fess up before her white lies catch up to her?
Princess Rose has the worst luck. Though she avoided a fairy’s curse for years, she ends up pricking her finger anyway and falling asleep for a hundred years. The Prince doesn’t have it too easy either, especially with a mother who has some ogre blood. When he stumbles upon a certain hidden castle (and a certain slumbering princess), will it be happily ever after? Not until the Prince helps the Princess awaken … and brings her home to Mother.
When Claire’s best friend, Bess, moves away, she becomes the only girl in her entire school. At first, she thinks she has nothing to worry about. But then her other best friend, Henry, begins to ignore her, while a super-annoying bully and the boy who has a crush on her won’t leave her alone. Claire is determined to show the boys that when it comes to thinking on your feet, she’s got them outnumbered.
