Beschreibung

A fairy tale whodunit by the Newbery Honor author of Ella Enchanted featuring an aspiring actress, a dragon detective and a case of a shape-shifting ogre. 
 
Elodie journeys to the town of Two Castles to become a mansioner—an actress—but the master of the troupe turns her away. The only one who will take Elodie in is Meenore, a dragon who happens to be a brilliant detective. To crack Meenore’s newest case, Elodie goes undercover on a dangerous mission within an ogre’s castle. There, disguised as a kitchen maid, Elodie plays the role of a lifetime, pitted against a deadly foe . . .  
 
Praise for A Tale of Two Castles 
 
“A thoroughly delicious romp from the author of Ella Enchanted. . . . The plot is winningly unpredictable, the characters easy to relate to, the humor subtle and the action well-paced. Newbery Honor–winner Levine has once again breathed new life into old stories.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) 
 
“Readers are certain to be pulled, like Elodie herself, right into the midst of the rich and swirling life of Two Castles.” —School Library Journal 
 
“Carson crafts a persuasive fantasy realm and a capable heroine. Readers . . . will likely anticipate further sleuthing adventures with this companionable duo.” —Publishers Weekly

    Sonnie and the Pink Collar, a story about friendship and acceptance, tells the heartwarming tale of Sonnie, whom children see as a rough and tough muscular dog, and her friend, Tucker, whom children see as a big teddy bear. Sonnie grapples with being misjudged as a dog that children should not get near because of how it looks. 
    Being ignored makes Sonnie feel sad as she watches Tucker get all the attention. When Tucker learns that Sonnie feels we neglected, he embarks on a mission for children to see Sonnie differently, hoping it will cheer up his doggie friend. Through humorous attempts to recommend that Sonnie wear a pink tutu, a hat adorned with daisies, and even pink boots, Tucker finally lands on an idea that Sonnie loves. 
    Tucker’s creative solution not only attracts children to Sonnie, it also gives her that much-needed self-confidence. Sonnie and the Pink Collar emphasizes the importance of feeling accepted and the power of true friendship.
