This story is a modern take on traditional fairy tales. A young man named Bard leaves his small village seeking an adventure which he can turn into an epic ballad and become a famous minstrel. His travels take him to an enchanted kingdom where the hero meets two very different young women. One is Princess Leanan who has been sent to the enchanted kingdom to marry its king against her will. The princess meets the hero and manipulates him into helping her to escape. The other woman is a traveling merchant named Dee. She is an adventurous good-hearted free spirit who doesn't need a hero to protect her. In fact Dee has much more worldly experience Bard. On his ensuing adventures Dee helps get the naive hero out of several precarious situations, without Dee's help Bard would fail in his quests. Together in their adventures they encounter a witch, a crafty Fae (fairy), a troll, an enchanted frog and an evil wizard.This story was created by a reading teacher to help children improve their reading and vocabulary.

Hi. My name is Sean Rosen, and here's some of what's in this book: Two big Hollywood studios fight over my movie. I get asked (by Coach Obester!) to join the track team. I show you a very cool scene from the screenplay for my movie. My neighbors leave me in charge of their dog, Baxter. The craziest part of the story. I'm pretty sure the scariest guy in show business is trying to steal my best idea.A lot happens. It's funny. It's exciting. If you didn't read my first book, don't worry. You will like this book. If you did read it, you'll like this one even more. I promise.

Sean Rosen knows what he wants. A ten-million-dollar deal with a big Hollywood studio. The only problem is, he's a kid. And he's busy with school. And he lives far from Los Angeles or New York City.Figuring it out as he goes, using only his laptop and his phone, Sean makes amazing progress in his quest, which no one else has a clue about, except you, if you read this book.
