The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle

The League of Princes returns in the hilariously epic conclusion to Christopher Healy's hit series, which Kirkus Reviews called "part screwball comedy, part sly wit, and all fun" in a starred review! Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You think you know those guys pretty well by now, don't you? Well, think again. Posters plastered across the thirteen kingdoms are saying that Briar Rose has been murdered—and the four Princes Charming are the prime suspects. Now they're on the run in a desperate attempt to clear their names. Along the way, however, they discover that Briar's murder is just one part of a nefarious plot to take control of all thirteen kingdoms—a plot that will lead to the doorstep of an eerily familiar fortress for a final showdown with an eerily familiar enemy.

The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw

No One Leaves the Castle

A rip-roaring, hilarious alternate-history adventure starring the world’s most famous inventors—and its most forgotten. From the author of the beloved Hero’s Guide series, Christopher Healy. It's 1883—the Age of Invention! A time when great men like Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, Nicola Tesla, and George Eastman work to turn the country into a land of limitless opportunity. And it all happens at the world famous Inventor’s Guild headquarters in New York City—a place where a great idea, a lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck can find you rubbing elbows with these gods of industry who will usher humanity into the future. Unless, of course, you’re a woman. Molly Pepper, daughter of brilliant but unknown inventor Cassandra Pepper, lives with her mother in New York. By day, they make ends meet running a pickle shop; but by night, they toil and dream of Cassandra taking her place among the most famous inventors in America. In an attempt to find a way to exhibit Cass’s work at the World’s Fair, they break into the Inventor's Guild, where they discover a mysterious plot to destroy New York. The evidence points to the involvement of one of the world’s most famous inventors, and now it’s up to Molly, Cassandra, and a shop hand named Emmett Lee to uncover the truth—even if no one will ever know it was they who did it. “Christopher Healy, author of the Hero’s Guide series, knows how to tell a good story. He’s done it again with the adventures of a determined girl named Molly Pepper.”—Brightly, Best Middle Grade Books of Fall 2018

This Is Not That Kind of Book

Último volume da série bem-humorada Liga dos príncipes. Cartazes espalhados pelos Treze Reinos afirmam que Rosa Silvestre foi morta, e os quatro Príncipes Encantados são os principais suspeitos, além de Cinderela, Branca de Neve, Rapunzel e Lila. Agora eles estão fugindo, enquanto tentam desesperadamente provar sua inocência. Ao longo do caminho, eles descobrem que o assassinato de Rosa é apenas uma parte de um plano nefasto para controlar todos os Treze Reinos. Christopher Healy retorna ao mundo dos contos de fadas, com batalhas com suricatos gigantes, brigas com caçadores de recompensas, dezenas de penas arrancadas, e talvez os reinos finalmente sejam salvos para sempre.

Príncipe Liam. Príncipe Frederico. Príncipe Duncan. Príncipe Gustavo. Você nunca ouviu falar deles, certo? Esses são os príncipes que salvaram Bela Adormecida, Cinderela, Branca de Neve e Rapunzel, e, mesmo assim, graças aos bardos preguiçosos que escreveram os contos, você provavelmente só os conhece como o "Príncipe Encantado". Isso está prestes a mudar. Rejeitados pelas princesas e expulsos de seus castelos, os príncipes se deparam com uma trama diabólica que pode colocar seus reinos em perigo. Agora, cabe a eles vencer todos os obstáculos, derrotar trolls, bandidos, dragões, bruxas e outros perigos para se tornarem os heróis que ninguém imaginou que eles poderiam ser. Em O guia do herói para salvar o seu reino, primeiro volume da saga O guia do herói, Christopher Healy nos conduz por uma jornada com quatro príncipes imperfeitos e suas princesas improváveis, em um mundo onde nada é o que parece ser — nem mesmo nossos clássicos contos de fadas.

Memoir of Christopher Healy, Principally Taken from His Own Memoranda

The second book in the new adventure trilogy from the beloved author of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom. It's 1883—only a few months after Molly Pepper; her mother, Cassandra; and her friend, Emmett, saved New York from an attack by the megalomaniacal Ambrose Rector while managing to preserve the reputations of Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison, whose technology was manipulated in Rector’s scheme. Their selfless heroism will finally earn them a place in the Inventors’ Guild, alongside the greatest minds of their generation. Unless, of course, no one knows that they did any of that. Left with nothing but empty promises and a struggling pickle shop after the government chooses to cover up the crisis, Molly, Cassandra, and Emmett have no idea where to turn—until they learn of a daring expedition to the South Pole, where an meteorite of mysterious power is embedded, and where Emmett’s father, explorer and ship captain Wendell Lee, disappeared years ago. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, our heroes commandeer an experimental seacraft to make their play on the pole. But the trip is more treacherous than they realize, and there’s no guarantee that they will return successful—if they even return at all.

The Hero's Guide Complete Collection

The thrilling conclusion to Christopher Healy's funny, action-packed, acclaimed alt-history adventure! It is 1884, and Molly and Cassandra Pepper, Emmett Lee, and Emmett's long-lost father are sailing back to New York following their death-defying adventure in Antarctica. Having discovered a subterranean world at the South Pole while saving the world from certain doom once again, surely their accomplishments will finally earn them the recognition they deserve. Unless, of course . . . well, you know by now. And so do the Peppers and Lees. They're used to having their deeds covered up by the government in order to protect powerful men, and frankly, they're sick of it. And when their return to New York doesn't go the way they'd planned, they decide that maybe it's best to go into hiding and accept that, perhaps, the forces aligned against them are just too great. As the 1884 presidential election approaches, however, our heroes discover a plot against leading candidate Thomas Edison that only they can stop. It'll be up to them to decide whether to come out of hiding, make the perilous journey to Washington, DC, and do the right thing one last time. Even if it means risking everything they have left.
