The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle by Christopher Healy
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is an excellent sequel! I'd even go so far as to say this story would be excellent all on its own, but I do feel a reader would benefit from the character building of the first book. Still, this story is self-contained, satisfying, and such a fun adventure.

The princes charming and all their associated princesses are back, along with the pint-sized Bandit King, the melancholy Ruffian, Liam's spirited little sister, and a host of new characters to round out the cast. Rather than saving a kingdom, this time they're invading one! Or infiltrating, at least. With their honor as heroes on the line, they'll have to lie, sneak, and otherwise outmaneuver the story's villains to keep the world safe. Too bad they're not actually good at any of those things.

A fast-paced plot, lovable characters, and plenty of humor make this a middle-grade must-read.
