Princess to the Rescue (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780578570488)

Princess Claire grabbed the hand of her new friend, Ninian, and rushed to the castle door. Audience hours with the King were over, but Claire understood that Ninian needed help right away. Ninian explained to the King that his father was sick, and their cow ate his neighbor's corn when the fence blew down. Now the neighbor wouldn't give the cow back, which meant they didn't have milk, cheese or butter to sell or money to buy medicine. Ninian couldn't find a solution, but Princess Claire knew her father had the resources to help and she figured out how that would work. Ninian would bargain with the neighbor to return the cow if Ninian replanted the lost corn and Ninian would repair the broken frence. The King gave the corn and wood to Ninian if he did the work. And Claire promised to buy cheese from Ninian's mother so they could save enough for medicine to make his father well.
