Description

The magical first edition paperback of The Frog Princess and Peter Pan (or, Wendy Darling and the Secret Prince) will feature dual-toned green and blue sprayed edges!

Princess Lissie of Neverland is a very good princess: she's quiet, practices good manners, and stays out of trouble. She has even learned to live with the pesky curse that turns her into a frog each night, dodging the false king and his scout, Peter Pan. That is, until Lissie is magically whisked to a strange house on mainland Reverie... with Peter Pan himself waiting at the window.

Meanwhile, Wendy Darling has a problem. All she wants is her own happy ending, but unfortunately, her father is sending her away to finishing school (even though she isn't that bad at being "good"). And that's all before Wendy suddenly winds up surrounded by pirates—being ordered to walk the plank.

Happily-ever-after couldn't feel farther away. Can Lissie stay safe from Peter Pan's clutches? And in a world of curses and magic, can Wendy find her own happy ending?
