When plans for a ball run a-fowl, Princess Magnolia accepts the help of a valiant new hero to save her secret decorations—and the entire evening!

Princess Magnolia is at the Flower Festival prepping for the evening ball when suddenly she hears a commotion. Oh no! She isn’t prepared to fight a monster or... a grumpy emu! To her surprise, a knight in shining armour comes to the rescue, but not before the princess’s prized decorations are stomped on and destroyed.

Luckily, the gallant Prince Valerian has his own secret identity—the Prince in Pink—and has been yearning for a chance to show off his special skills, with the help of some twinkle-twinkle and major glam. Glitter has been restored, but then the angry emu returns—with friends! Can the party heroes step up to save the day again?

Expect the unexpected as this sparkling new entry in the New York Times best-selling series takes the floor with a flourish.
