On the islands of Waveborn, four friends must discover who is trying to take over their kingdoms in this charming tale set in a world unlike our own. Princess Jes likes comfortable boots, games of hide and seek, and stories about the Waveborn island kingdoms her parents and their friends once raised from the sea and now rule. So, she's not even a little bit jealous when her parents and older sister leave for the mainland to visit another royal family. Well … maybe a little jealous. Being left with a disagreeable Regent and a stack of history books isn't exactly how Jes had hoped to spend her school vacation. She has just resigned herself to enduring the boring days ahead when she overhears the new Regent plotting to overthrow her family and take over their island kingdom. Jes sets out on a quest to protect her island, rescue her parents, and solve the mystery of the islands. Joined by the princess and princes of the other three islands, Jes will have to use all her courage if she is ever to see her home again.

      A resilient and self-reliant young princess must save her kingdom from nefarious forces in the first installment of a new chapter-book series.Princess Jesireen's parents, King Willem and Queen Eris of East Waveborn, and her older sister, Princess Alex, have been called away, leaving Jes in the care of a stranger called Lady Umber. If "anything comes up" while the king and queen are away, this stern, sharp-featured woman will rule as regent. When Jes discovers Lady Umber's plot to assassinate the royal family, the intrepid 9-year-old springs into action. She can't allow this evil woman to control her country! As Jes meets with royal children from the other Waveborn islands, she finds out the other kings and queens are dead and have been replaced with regents--all of whom, although their names differ, look and sound like Lady Umber. Who's behind this plan to take over the islands? A short-tempered, physically active princess in boy's clothing; a woman pirate-turned-housekeeper; a just and democratic monarchy; and energy produced by volcanic steam--this ambitious chapter book packs a punch. The character development and neatly structured world with a fleshed-out history are accompanied by lots of action and humor. Most characters, including Jes, her family, and Lady Umber, are assumed white; Jes' booby-trap-happy fellow royal, Princess Amalia, has brown skin, as does Jes' parents' airship captain.Here's hoping new books will arrive before the current intended audience moves on to larger tomes. (Fantasy. 6-10)
