But this isn't most fairy tales...\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Princess Violet is plain, reckless, and quite possibly too clever for her own good. Particularly when it comes to telling stories. One day she and her best friend, Demetrius, stumble upon a hidden room and find a peculiar book. A \u003ci\u003eforbidden\u003c\/i\u003e book. It tells a story of an evil being, called the Nybbas, imprisoned in their world. The story cannot be true—\u003ci\u003enot really\u003c\/i\u003e. But then the whispers start. Violet and Demetrius, along with an ancient, scarred dragon-the last dragon in existence, in fact-may hold the key to the Nybbas's triumph or its demise. It all depends on how they tell the story. After all, stories make their own rules.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Iron Hearted Violet is a story about the power of stories, our belief in them, and how one enchanted tale changed the course of an entire kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Wonderful read-aloud potential...with a likable hero and heroine, a well-paced plot, and a daunting villain.\"―\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDON’T MISS THESE OTHER ACCLAIMED BOOKS BY KELLY BARNHILL:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Mostly True Story of Jack\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Witch’s Boy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Girl Who Drank the Moon\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Ogress and the Orphans\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Little, Brown Books for Young Readers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891132428517,"sku":"NP9780316056755","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9780316056755_3c3127d8-0ad7-4854-807c-a76aac4fa486.jpg?v=1771872066","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/iron-hearted-violet-isbn-9780316056755","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
