Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle (League of Princes, 2) by Christopher Healy, January 1, 2013. Published by Walden Pond Press.

Prince Liam. Prince Frederic. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You remember them, don't you? They're the Princes Charming, who finally got some credit after they stepped out of the shadows of their princesses--Cinderella, Rapunzel, Snow White, and Briar Rose--to defeat an evil witch bent on destroying all their kingdoms.

But alas, such fame and recognition only last so long. And when the princes discover that an object of great power might fall into any number of wrong hands, they are going to have to once again band together to stop it from happening--even if no one will ever know it was they who did it.

Christopher Healy, author of the acclaimed The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, takes us back to the hilariously fractured fairy-tale world he created for another tale of medieval mischief. Magical gemstones, bladejaw eels, a mysterious Gray Phantom, and two maniacal warlords bent on world domination--it's all in a day's work for the League of Princes.

Why: I'm a little embarrassed to say that I still have not read Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle. It's especially bad since I absolutely adored The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom and the new direction that Christopher Healy took the princes' tales. Seriously, though, I really want a finished copy of this one.
