Princess Viola excels at skateboarding and karate but struggles with royal duties. Sent to Camp Princess to refine her skills, she faces a greater challenge when a green dragon threatens the kingdom. Can her unique talents save the day? Discover how Viola's unconventional strengths become her greatest asset in this delightful tale of bravery and self-discovery.

“Viola Louise Hassenfeffer was not an ordinary princess. She spent her time karate-chopping HI-YAH!, diving into the moat SPLASH!, and skateboarding up and down the drawbridge ZIP! ZUP! ZOOM!”

— from the book

From the publisher

Princess Viola is great at skateboarding and karate-chopping, but she’s lousy at the royal wave, walk, and waltz. The king and queen are not pleased. What’s a princess to do? Attend the skill-polishing Camp Princess, of course. In the end, it’s a good thing Viola is made of tougher stuff. Who else will save the day when the green dragon comes along?
