Bookroo's summary
In a vibrant Peruvian-inspired kingdom, a prince believes he's found his true love, but his skeptical mother has a secret test to prove her royal worth. As the queen plots, the prince devises his own clever plan. Will love conquer tradition, or will the queen's test reveal unexpected truths? This enchanting retelling of a classic tale, sprinkled with Spanish, invites readers into a world where love and cunning collide.
