Bookroo's summary
Lala, a cave-dwelling krinkle-nut digger, dreams of the royal life above. Sneaking into a castle, she dons princess gowns but is caught. The princesses dress her up for a ball, where she faces ridicule. Can Lala forgive those who tricked her and discover what it truly means to be a princess? Her journey from the depths to the dazzling world above challenges her dreams and self-worth. Will she find her place in a world that seems so different from her own?
From the publisher
Deep in a cave there’s a story, it seems, of a sweet little monster with very big dreams. She wished she was pretty. She wished she could dance. She wished to be special…and this was her chance.
