My first novel, a children's novel, can be seen as similar to Gail Carson Levine's books like Ella Enchanted and Fairest as well as Margaret Peterson Haddix's Just Ella, although my novel has a completely different storyline from all of the above. In reality, the only thing they have in common is that a princess is involved. Titled The Peasant Princess, it's all about the unusual life of Princess Marie of Monakia - Marie frequently leaves the palace disguised as a peasant girl, duels (as in swords) with her older brother Prince Charme, practices archery almost daily, and finds her lessons with tutor Robert more interesting and easier to understand than embroidery or dance lessons. After rejecting suitor Prince Alexander of neighboring country Dolornia, Marie is kidnapped by Alexander's men. So Marie has two options: one, marry Alexander, who by this point is clearly insane; or two, rely on two maids-turned-ladies-in-waiting, a falcon, Robert, Charme, and a redheaded Prince David to somehow get her out of such a mess.
