Extended description

A talking pearl earring.
A gleaming white unicorn.
A flower from an ogre.

Sandy Blunt, witch, has big dreams but C-average magic skills. Her only noteworthy talent is for paying extravagant compliments to women. Trouble is, when she uses that gift, she unwittingly foretells the future for a pretty princess. The punishment for prophesying about one of royal blood is death. With the help of ill-assorted companions, including a self-proclaimed princess in disguise with a wild imagination, a self-absorbed member of the royal guard, and the not-so-average girl next door, Sandy has a year and a day to travel to far-flung places – encountering such dangerous creatures as a dragon who writes awful poetry, slovenly elves, and boarding house landladies – to collect the weird and magical items needed to turn her prophecies into promises and so evade the executioner.

Review by: Dejay Garden on April 26, 2011 : star star star star
This is not the first book I've read by this author and it won't be the last. The story is wonderful, funny, well written and impossible to put down. I am in awe of this writer's ability to imagine the circumstances and then make it come to life on paper. The characters are well developed, the plot line hilarious and the laughter much appreciated.

I read into the wee hours of the night to finish and my sides ached from laughing. Great book.
