Download or read book Escaping the Prince written by Lorraine O'Byrne and published by Lorraine O Byrne. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Escaping the Prince” is a charmingly romantic and quirky adventure for young readers of eight onward. It does not follow the conventional route of the romantic tales that we are all familiar with such as Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty etc. Set in the Pixie land that is Brandydook, the entire kingdom is bursting with excitement and anticipation for the upcoming ball at which Prince Morgan will choose his bride to be. The law in Brandydook states that the prince must marry on his sixteenth birthday if he is to inherit the throne. Each and every pixie in the Kingdom desperately wants to be princess of Brandydook. All, that is, except Buttercup, a wild and wilful pixie who has other plans for her life, none of which include Prince Morgan. To help Prince Morgan make his choice, he has requested that each pixie perform for him at the ball. When Buttercup’s turn inevitably comes, she blunders through it clumsily and ends up falling at the Prince’s feet, having first knocked over the entire band. The Prince however, is undeterred by the fiasco and is intrigued by her difference from all the others who have tried so hard to impress him with their polished performances and amazing talents. To the delight of her parents and Buttercup’s total and utter dismay, the Prince chooses Buttercup to be his bride. With plans for the royal wedding immediately underway, Buttercup feels trapped by her impending doom and with the help of her dear friend, Goodwin, she flees the Kingdom, seeking adventure in the land of humans. As Buttercup crosses the boundary of Brandydook, she unwittingly disturbs the balance of nature by plucking some wild roses from the bank of the river, completely unaware that if a flower is taken from the Kingdom, it will spell the end of Brandydook for all eternity. The pixie embarks upon what turns out to be a perilous journey through the land of humans, fighting for her life as she goes. Plummeting down a waterfall, Buttercup is plucked from mid air by a giant bird who tosses her into his nest to feed his ravenous chicks. Miraculously, she survives only to be chased at high speed by a monstrous black spider with great hairy tentacles. She is lost and alone in this terrifying world with danger at every turn and longs for the familiar surroundings of Brandydook. As if things couldn’t get any worse, Buttercup is captured by a horrible little girl named Wendy who thinks she is a doll. Meanwhile, back in Brandydook, snow begins to fall and nature is slowly dying, taking with it the very essence of the Kingdom itself. Prince Morgan and his parents, King Rufus and Queen Tulip are furious and incredulous when they learn from Buttercup’s friend Goodwin, that she has abandoned them and in doing so has placed the Kingdom in grave peril. Mother Brandydook, an ethereal pixie linked to the natural life source of Brandydook reveals that Buttercup holds the key to the survival of the Kingdom and must be found at all costs. Feeling responsible and more than a little angry, Prince Morgan embarks on his own adventure to bring Buttercup back in order to save his homeland.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the five Kingdom Keepers enter high school, everything is about to change. The Maintenance Base that controls all four parks in Disney World is under attack by the Overtakers, a group determined to change Disney forever. Relationships between the Keepers are no longer as simple as they once were. In fact, nothing is as simple as it once was. An after-hours visit to Typhoon Lagoon is a game changer. The Keepers lose one of their most valuable supporters. But there's work to do . . . The Disney Dream leaves Port Canaveral on an historic cruise to Los Angeles with a special treat in store for guests: the Disney Host Interactive guides are on board. Finn, Maybeck, Charlene, Willa, and Philby join guests as the DHI experience moves to one of the most advanced cruise ships in the world. But all is not right below decks. Strange things are happening. Only the Kingdom Keepers know the truth behind their invitation to be in attendance: nearly every Disney villain is aboard the ship, including Maleficent. The Overtakers have infiltrated the cast and crew. And no oneknows what they have planned. The Dream sets sail filled with enthusiastic guests and crew. But not for long. Maleficent takes over a video screen and warns the guests of trouble to come. With the ship arriving to the beaches of Castaway Cay--its first of many exotic ports of call--the Kingdom Keepers are under attack; back home the Base is threatened and about to fall. The Overtakers have expanded in ways never foreseen, and it's clear they intend to use this element of surprise to accomplish what has eluded them so far: victory. But not if Finn Whitman and friends have anything to say about it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the five teens who modeled as Disney Hologram Imaging hosts, life is beginning to settle down when an intriguing video arrives to Philby's computer at school. It's a call for action: the Overtakers, a group of Disney villains, seem to be plotting to attempt a rescue of two of their leaders, both of whom the Disney Imagineers have hidden away somewhere following a violent encounter in Epcot. A staged attack by new Overtakers at Downtown Disney, startles the group. One of their own, Charlene, is acting strange of late. Has she tired of her role as a Kingdom Keeper or is there something more sinister at play? When caught sneaking into Epcot as her DHI, acting strictly against the group's rules, Finn and Philby take action. Has the "impossible" occurred? Have the Overtakers created their own holograms? Have they found a way to "jump" from the Virtual Maintenance Network onto the Internet, and if so, what does that mean for the safety of the parks, and the spread and reach of the Overtakers? Are they recruiting an army from outside the parks? A dark cloud in the Kingdom Keeper era is unfolding, and with dissention in their own ranks, it's unclear if there's any chance of escape.
