Praise for Lost With Leeks:
(for print and ebook editions)
"delightful funny book that captures the readers heart from start to finish. A wicked Queen, hot air balloons, a friendly yellow dragon and a Prince with a lot of responsibility and a huge talent for getting lost make for a hilarious journey. . . will definitely be sharing it with my grandchildren." -Sharon Walker
"a wonderful and fantastical story. . .a great read for older elementary children. . .enjoyed discovering this whimsical world, watching Nero overcome his obstacles, and seeing the growth of characters through the story. . ." -Christina Newcomb
"Very cute story. I can't wait to read it with my girls! As someone who has no sense of direction, I love that Nero is directionally challenged also. I hope there are more books to follow. I'd love to read about the other characters or even more adventures with Nero." -Charlotte's Reviews (Goodreads)

About the author
Laurel Decher writes books about making life more delightful, richer, and more magical by taking advantage of opportunities that scare us (or that we are positive aren’t for us.)
In the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales, kids take on challenges that are difficult but worthwhile, like learning to speak up, take a test, get less than a perfect score, find their way around, or be fair to a friend who puts them in a sticky spot.
Running readers through the emotional wringer is not her goal. The stories are designed to be playful, nonsensical, and intellectually-detailed with an anything-is-possible tone, so young, high-level readers can have fun using their powerful and creative brains.
