Amy's Book Review:
Lost with Leeks
-by Laurel Decher
Nero is out with a bunch of archers when he gets lost because Prince Nero’s godfather gave Nero a magnetic personality that is supposed to make him charming! It works, but it makes Nero a trouble-magnet for compasses, maps, and magical creatures. So when Nero touches a map, gets near a compass, or gets near a magical creature, those things go wonky!
Prince Nero’s mother, Queen Ash, usually does millions of damage in The Seven Kingdoms. That’s why Nero has Damage Control when King Schwartz is in France to bake. Then, Queen Ash puts St. Nicholas in the AirCastle. For Queen Ash, that didn’t work out. Nero was glad it didn’t work out. But because that didn’t work, Queen Ash put St. Nicholas in the water dungeon. That worked out for Queen Ash, but not for Prince Nero. Does Nero save St. Nicholas and his reindeer in time? Read this book to find out!
Prince Nero is pretty smart, and in the time of need, he can think up some pretty good ideas. He is my favorite character. His mother, Queen Ash, is very destructive and might break up The Seven Kingdoms one day.
I recommend this book as a read-aloud to children 6+ and as a reader to children 9+.
I give this book 5/5 stars as it is a great book, and I loved every single part of it.
Have fun reading!

P.S. This book can be read as a stand-alone.
Thanks so much for reading! I'm so excited to hear that Nero is someone's favorite character--that just makes my day. :) And that Queen Ash . . . oh my! Who knows what she'll do next? (Thanks for sharing your thoughts--you're giving me ideas!)
