Description
Hodie is the unpaid odd-job boy at the Grand Palace in the Kingdom of Fontania. Fed-up, he decides to leave and better himself.
The young Queen, 12-year-old Sibilla, is fed up too. Sick of gossip about her lack of magical ability, she decides to run away with Hodie, whether he likes it or not.
An adventure story about greed, rebellion, and finding allies in the most unlikely places.
Advance Praise
A magical story, full of adventure, danger, royalty, spies, flying trains, stinky trolls and poisonous toads...If you loved The Travelling Restaurant you have to get your hands on The Queen and the Nobody Boy, but if you haven't read it this book will make you fall in love with the land of Fontania. You certainly won't be able to go past this book on the shelf without wanting to see what magic is inside, thanks to Sam Broad's brilliant cover. 4 out of 5 stars- - My Best Friends are Books blog, September 2012
