A witch's curse from beyond the grave! Witch Island used to be feared. Even the bravest would not dare go there. Legend said a witch had been burned alive at the stake, and upon her death she cursed the town. Terrified residents performed rituals to keep her spirit trapped on the island where she was buried. Now, over a hundred years later, a group of high school seniors have decided to forgo the local graduation parties and have a small gathering of their own–on Witch Island. They don't fear the legends. They scoff at them. But the group will soon learn these particular legends are nothing to scoff at. And Witch Island will prove far worse than they could have ever imagined.

Prince Charming is supposed to rescue a princess—but she has other ideas. The youngest in a long line of Prince Charmings, Carlos is juggling a lot. That is, he is spending his time juggling balls in the air—instead of doing his princely duties. But now he has a terrifying mission: There’s a princess trapped in a tower—the Tallest Tower, on Witch Island, surrounded by Witch Lake. You don’t need me to tell you how scary that sounds. But Carlos soon discovers that rescuing a damsel in distress requires a damsel who’s in distress. This princess doesn’t need to be rescued—and definitely doesn’t need a prince charming. Her Royal Slyness by Roy L. Hinuss is the second illustrated chapter book in the hilarious new series about how hard it can be to live up to the fairy tale.

The results--as you'll see inside--are diverse, original and unabashedly acrylic.
