Editorial Reviews “This nameless princess is a fabulously different kind of hero. I rooted for her triumph with every page turn." —Deborah Halverson, award-winning author, editor “Kids will love every quirky thing about it!” --Kristi Wientge, author, KARMA KHULLAR’S MUSTACHE “I love the premise of hiding in plain sight. The concept that a kid could go through childhood - and life - without feeling they are being heard or seen is such an important topic . . . I know a lot of kids will be drawn to this!” --Halli Gomez, author: LIST OF TEN, contributing author: BRAVE NEW GIRLS: TALES OF HEROINES WHO HACK “Emotionally engaging. I feel much sympathy for [the nameless princess], yet at the same time her parents and all their inadequacies are so endearing.” --Michelle Leonard, contributing author, BRAVE NEW GIRLS: STORIES OF GIRLS WHO SCIENCE AND SCHEME, Young Adult (Sci-Fi Anthology for ages 12+) “I love all the rich details like the Blackflies, the goldfish in the moat, the sluices carrying the desserts . . .” --Karin Lefranc, author, I WANT TO EAT YOUR BOOKS What readers are saying: Love this super-original fairy tale! “This is a terrifically inventive tale about a princess (the youngest of 15 children) who needs a name, fast—and the clock is ticking. . .The stakes are high, not only for her but for the whole kingdom, and I found myself reading faster and faster as I neared the end. I also fell in love with the entire Cochem Kingdom, a wonderfully quirky place where the characters are obsessed with library books (yay!), good quality parsnip fries, and excellent, rollicking speeches. What a fun, satisfying read!” —Susan Gilbert-Collins Trouble with Parsnips isn’t like any other book I’ve ever read. I would love to read more by the author. I give this book 5/5 stars as it is a great book, and I loved every single part of it. Have fun reading! -Amy, expert reader and Books Are Gems blogger.
