Kathie Berry is both the author and illustrator of children's books and believes in educating children through valued books by providing messages of inspiration, motivation, morale, positivity and creativity combined with adventures and fun.Amanda's father switched jobs and that places Amanda in a strange location with a strange school where not even the teachers seem to notice her, much less new potential friends. She feels isolated and alone. She discovers the library - her haven! - and there she finds an old dusty book titled `The Training Manual of a Princess'. The book informs her that she is a lost princess and begins by stating ` A true princess is always very kind, helpful and compassionate. She never lets any chance of showing kindness to other go to waste. She offers help eve if it puts her in difficulty.' Then the book was blank! Amanda begins showing kindness to everyone and eventually her good deeds result in her discovering the meaning in the rest of the manual - `Keep up the good work! Another thing to remember is that a true princess is always very polite and considerate. Never ever forget to use Please, Thank you, Excuse me and so on. Always address others with respect. Show courtesy and respect to everyone on every occasion.' Happily she shares her news with her parents and continues to read her book, finding that the next lessons were to excel in everything she is responsible for - her responsibilities, caring for her hygiene and appearance and style. And after her lessons were learned and she benefits from them, the manual tells her to return the book to the place where she found it so that other lost princesses will benefit from this magic book!Both the story and the illustrations are first class and little girls will love reading about the secret of becoming a princess!
