A heartwarming story of what it means to be friends. Wren finding that her best friend needs her begins a journey to be there for her no matter what. Wren is a true friend braving everything that could go wrong to show that she meant everything that she shared with Teressa. A very good read!
When Wren's best friend turns out to be a princess in hiding, Wren's life is turned upside down. But when Tess is abducted, Wren sets out to find and save her with the help of some friends. Wren also has a pretty cool power. I enjoyed reading. For younger teens as well.
