Amy's Book Review:
Trouble with Parsnips
-by Laurel Decher
'Trouble with Parsnips' is about a nameless princess who lives in the Cochem Kingdom. She’s the fifteenth child of her family. She doesn’t have any actual name, but when the king or queen wanted or needed her, they would call ‘Fifteenth’ or ‘Sibyl #8’.
All the princesses in the Cochem Kingdom got the name Sybil, and all the princes got the name Harold. So the nameless princess ended up being Sybil #8.
Sybil #8—the unnamed princess—is the youngest, and she feels forgotten by her family. She can’t speak up for herself, and she has only fifteen days to find herself a name, else she would become invisible forever.
Can she save the Kingdom and find a name for herself in time? Or will she become invisible forever? Read this amazing realistic fairytale to find out. But wait! Read the rest of this review first. 😊
I loved Sybil #8 as she was very smart and intelligent.
In Trouble with Parsnips, there are very funny instances. There is a palace agriculture library (PAL) and a ventriloquist league (VVL), which I liked very much.
The themes in this book include family relationships, believing in oneself, and speaking up for oneself.
I give this book 5/5 stars as there were no confusing or boring parts.
'Trouble with Parsnips' isn’t like any other book I’ve ever read. I would love to read more by the author.
