Guys Read: Heroes & Villains

In the Hero's Guide books, readers discover that Prince Charming isn't one man-there are four of them: Liam, Frederick, Duncan, and Gustav. And they all have their own challenges to overcome as they try to grow from goofy, average-guy princes into impossibly perfect knights of legend. Joined by princesses Ella, Snow White, Briar Rose, Rapunzel, and Lila, they're off on adventures that they-and their kingdoms-can only hope to survive. Tween fans of Shrek and How to Train Your Dragon will love this fast-paced, funny series that's been applauded by the LA Times, the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews. This collection includes: The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw

The Hero's Guide Complete Collection - The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom, The Hero's Guide to Storming the Castle, The Hero's Guide to Being an Outlaw

A fast-paced and hilarious fantasy quest in the grand tradition of Shrek and The Princess Bride, starring four very unlikely, but likeable, heroes.

 Prince Liam. Prince Frederick. Prince Duncan. Prince Gustav. You've never heard of them, have you? But you've probably heard of Prince Charming, the guy who rides in at the last minute to save the girl. Well that's them, all four of them. They are all Prince Charmings. Only in reality, they are a little less heroic than you might expect.

 One day, cast out of their castles for one reason or another, the four Prince Charmings stumble upon each other, then shortly afterwards, upon an evil plot to bring about the downfall of the kingdom. Can the princes stop their bickering, overcome their failings and become the heroes the stories always said they were?
