Summary (provided by publisher): Robin? Robin? Robin?! Where are you?
She couldn't have gone far. . . .Princesses don't run away to have their own adventures. Right? No, no, no. Princesses stay quietly and obediently at home. They would never want to see mermaids and swamps and pirates and possibly get kidnapped.
Not this princess!
Adventures awaits when Robin (bored of princess-ing all the time) embarks on the best adventure of her life—meeting friends along the way as she travels through the magical landscape of her country. But her parents aren't so pleased, and they're coming to find her and bring her back to the castle, no matter how she feels about it!
My opinion: The plot of this book starts with a simple idea - Princess Robin has run away to have an adventure - and sort of meanders its way to an ending. It is in no way a linear plot. This isn't about the story, its about the experience. We have this wild fantasy moments, magical crowd scenes, and fantastic creatures. Even more interesting, though, are the points where the reader is invited to interact with the story. Mazes, hidden pictures, word puzzles, or even just an invitation to yell. It encourages the reader to fully engage with the book. While it's not terribly complex it is appealing. And I suspect it will grow on the reader with repetition.
