Rules versus Friendship . . . What's the verdict?
Eleven-year-old Prince Vlad has prepared all his life for his destiny as a Seven Kingdoms judge. He wants to be respected for fairness, like his father, King Pink.
When the king decides it's time for real-life practice, Vlad is thrilled to be appointed judge for the Magenta Educational Royal Court for Youth.
Unfortunately, his first case is a doozy.
His good friend Magellan shows up in court with an illegal baby dragon!
Good grief!
How can the brand new judge do his duty without losing his friends?

About the author
Laurel Decher writes books for readers who enjoy the superpower of reading, are willing to imagine delightfully zany places, and are eager to discover life's possibilities!
In the Seven Kingdoms Fairy Tales, smart and friendly heroes and heroines speak up, (and hatch dragons), take tests, (and defeat the Blackfly queen), deal with less than perfect scores, (and cupids), find their way around, (and get lost), stay friends even when they disagree, (and struggle with fairy godparents) and find a way to belong in a new place. When you're on an extraordinary adventure, it's funny how an ordinary thing can help.
