A young mouse must save her production of The Nutcracker, a new ballet set to debut during the Christmas season.

Dig in to this middle-grade fantasy featuring a horticulturally minded princess, a beautiful but evil witch, and a magpie with a shameful secret. Princess Adela is not a typical princess. She’s neither particularly beautiful nor particularly graceful, and she’d rather spend her days digging new plots for her garden than listening to teatime gossip. But when her friend Garth is invited to a garden party hosted by Lady Hortensia — whose beauty is said to be rivaled only by the loveliness of her gardens — Adela can’t resist coming along, even if it means stuffing herself into a too-tight dress and donning impractical shoes. But the moment Adela sets eyes on Hortensia’s garden, she knows something is amiss. Every single flower is in bloom — in the middle of October! Not only that, there is a talking magpie flitting about the garden and stealing the guests’ jewels. Is it possible that Hortensia is a witch and the magpie an enchanted prince? And what of the flowers themselves? Will Adela get to the root of the mystery and nip trouble in the bud before it’s too late?

Prenez garde, vous qui écrivez dans ce cahier, Prenez garde aux histoires que vous commencez, Car chaque histoire qui possède un commencement Pourrait bien avoir aussi une suite et un dénouement. Pensez également, avant d'écrire pour de bon, Que si au jour succède immanquablement la nuit, Tous les débuts d'histoires ne font pas de bons récits ; Certains y parviennent, d'autres non. Que ce livre rende son jugement souverain Pour dire si et comment l'histoire prendra fin.
