When a young prince must choose between treasure and duty, his decision will determine if he's truly worthy of becoming king.
Prince Connor has always dreamed of adventure-and of proving he's ready to lead. When his mother needs a rare ingredient for the King's birthday cake, Connor eagerly accepts the dangerous quest to retrieve five magical nuts from the legendary Boca Boca Nut Tree.
His journey takes him through the Scraggly Bark Forest, across the treacherous Crystal River, and past creatures no boy has ever encountered. Along the way, he discovers treasures beyond his wildest imagination: a speckled hairy-tongued toad, a feather from the feared golden purple-eyed thatchhacker, and chunks of candy from Monster Rock Bluff.
But when Connor finally reaches the magical tree, he faces an impossible choice. The special bag meant to preserve the nuts is full of his precious treasures. He can keep what he found and return home empty-handed, or sacrifice everything to complete his mission.
Perfect for readers who loved The Paper Bag Princess and fans of stories where character matters more than crowns, this enchanting tale teaches young leaders that true kingship means putting others first-even when it costs you everything.
Will Connor choose the path of a treasure hunter or an Almost-King?
