Harrow\n\n\"Funny, surprising, smart and weird . . . fully lives up to the high bar you’d expect from a great like Sachar.\"—Associated Press\n\nLong ago and far away (and somewhere south of France) lies the kingdom of Esquaveta. There, Princess Tullia is in nearly as much peril as her struggling kingdom. Esquaveta desperately needs to forge an alliance, and to that end, Tullia's father has arranged a marriage between her and an odious prince. However, one month before the \"wedding of the century,\" Tullia falls in love with a lowly apprentice scribe.\n\nThe king turns to Anatole, his much-maligned magician. Seventeen years earlier, when Anatole first came to the castle, he was regarded as something of a prodigy. But after a long series of failures—the latest being an attempt to transform sand into gold—he has become the object of contempt and ridicule. The only one who still believes in him is the princess.\n\nWhen the king orders Anatole to brew a potion that will ensure Tullia agrees to the wedding, Anatole is faced with an impossible choice. With one chance to save the marriage, the kingdom, and, of most importance to him, his reputation, will he betray the princess—or risk ruin?\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0593952308\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0593952308.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Sachar, Louis\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
