Where do you find awesome YA Fantasy series? At the library of course! This month I’ll be highlighting some fantasy series, old and new.
The Enchanted Forest Chronicles by Patricia C. Wrede
The ongoing hilarious adventures of Princess Cimorene, who refuses to act proper, makes friends with witches and dragons, and helps defeat the evil wizards who are trying to take over the Enchanted Forest for evil.
