An old book request that got lost in my first attempt to use NetGalley when I didn’t understand or appreciate how the system worked.

This is a sweet and fun little children's book. It features a bit of magic, adventure and mystery in nice short chapters that are well suited for read-alouds. While it's the second book in the series, it can work as a stand-alone.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to review this title. I absolutely loved it and appreciate being able to have the opportunity to read it. Thank you.

As with the other installments in the Tales of Fontania series, "The Queen and the Nobody Boy" makes for a fun romp that capitalizes on the popularity of fantasy adventure narratives in junior fiction and makes for a solid entry in the larger genre in its own right. If you're looking for a book that reinvents the wheel or innovates upon the form, this is not that book. But it's still a good book! It has its own story to tell and questions to ask about the world and what it means to live in the world (or rather, *a* world). It's light, with touches of gravitas, and it moves at a quick clip after accelerating into full throttle after the first few chapters.

This book was missing from my device before I could finish reading it so,I can not leave a review because of not being able to read the book.
