Mom's Review
The Invisible Kingdom Trilogy is a contemporary fairytale that highlights the value of sacrifice, friendship, and persistence through three stories with an evil villain, a prince in peril, and a happy ending that following a heart stopping adventure.
When young prince John's father dies and John is thrust into the role of king, the pressure of palace life becomes too much to bear; he repeatedly sneaks out of the palace for a nightly walk through the capital. The power-hungry Prime Minister learns of the perambulations and restricts the prince to his bedroom, prompting the prince to flee for good. After experiencing homelessness, charity, entry-level employment, and love, his fulfilling existence is threatened by the Prime Minister who replaced him with a pliable imposter. The prince, with the support of his beloved, devises a creative plan to ensure his freedom.
Artfully and compellingly written, this trilogy captivated me so effectively I had to be called more than once before I looked up from the final book. The illustrations complement the text seamlessly to create a magical experience that drives home the importance of loved ones, finding fulfillment, and the reward of using one's gifts in service to others.
Ideal for middle grade readers. I cannot recommend the trilogy highly enough!
