The Robe of Skulls: The First Tale from the Five Kingdoms

200 pp. | Candlewick | July, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-3531-2 $14.99
(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Ross Collins. An evil (and broke) sorceress wants a gown "beyond all compare." She devises a scheme to turn princes into frogs, then ransom them to their parents. French sends a host of characters tromping about, all vying for treasure. Here's a romp filled with language play and just plain nonsense; an adventure where everyone gets his, her, or its due.
