Description:
<DIV> Jaclyn Moriarty returns with her first middle-grade novel, a buoyantly high-spirited fantasy adventure.<P></P><P>Bronte Mettlestone is ten years old when her parents are killed by pirates.</P><P>This does not bother her particularly: her parents ran away to have adventures when she was a baby. She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen!) She travels the kingdoms, perfectly alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.</P><P>But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure.</P></DIV>
