The dragon princess : a tales of the frog princess book. Vol. 6

Meet Millie, the charming but somewhat cursed daughter of Princess Emma and Prince Eadric. Why cursed? You see, every time Millie gets mad (and she gets mad a little too often) she turns into a dragon. And not a cute little pink dragon either. She is a full-on, green-scaled, huge-winged, fire-breathing dragon. Enough to scare the petticoats off her own friends, family...and of course, potential suitors who come to see about her hand in marriage. It’s embarrassing...even maddening, that this has to happen, but no one seems to have any answers for her...until she hears about a witch in the far reaches of the Frozen North, a witch guarded by a frightening brigade of polar bears, bears who have no interest in helping a princess in distress...E. D. Baker proves as winning a storyteller as ever as she introduces readers to a new generation of Greater Greensward’s enchanting royal family. Le dernier dimanche de l'année liturgique, l'Église fête le Christ Roi, célébration d'un symbole qui peut paraître ambiguë. Mais la royauté du Christ n'en constitue pas moins une figure commune aux quatre évangiles, en continuité avec l'espérance messianique de l'ancien Israël, particulièrement vivante au premier siècle de notre ère. Dans ce concert d'acclamations royales adressées à Jésus, l'évangile selon saint Jean occupe une place particulière. Mais quel est donc ce roi qui semble subvertir tous les critères habituels de la royauté ? Yves-Marie Blanchard relit cet évangile autour de trois clés : le témoignage de Jean-Baptiste, introduisant une première litanie des titres messianiques et qualités royales de Jésus ; la révélation à l'adresse de Pilate, dessinant la figure en creux d'une royauté paradoxale ; l'accomplissement de la figure royale, à travers la métaphore contrastée de l'Agneau, douloureuse et glorieuse à la fois. "With E. D. Baker's trademark humor, wacky animal and human characters, and almost all-new cast, this is the story of Emma's daughter, Millie, who is trying to survive being a magical princess who happens to keep turning into a dragon. When she cannot stop her own magic any other way, she and three friends (one vampire, one troll and her cousin, a young wizard prince) set off for the Frozen North and the Blue Witch. Together the motley group battles fearsome bears, saves imprisoned dragons, and find their way home in style, with Millie having gained control of her dragon magic." Although A Princess, Millie Cannot Keep Herself From Turning Unexpectedly Into A Dragon, So She Ventures Off To The Frozen North To Find The Blue Witch, Who She Hopes Will Help Her Learn To Control Her Dragon Magic.
