Synopsis
A fun-filled fantasy quest starring an unforgettable new BRONTE TEMPESTRA!
Bronte Tempestra of the Storm Kingdom is taking charge of her own destiny – she will be the first ever princess to become a knight!
But knight school isn’t the fun-filled adventure Bronte is expecting – the knights don’t seem interested in saving . . . anything. And when she discovers that the Lightning Steeds have gone missing, leaving the Thunder Trolls to wreak havoc across the lands, she knows it’s her moment to prove just how brave a princess can be.
Bronte must face down pompous griffin lords and bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes, monstrous horror flies and spooky zom bits. The future of the entire kingdom is at stake!
It’s time for the princess to rescue the knights!
The first book in a new fantasy series for readers aged 7 and up, packed with illustrations. Perfect for fans of RAINBOW GREY, WITCH WARS and THE PRINCESS IN BLACK.

Review
I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Bex is one of my favourite young adult authors and I was so excited to see her branch out into middle grade books – especially as Bronte is aimed at the younger end of that category, something I don’t see a lot of. Plus it’s illustrated and there are maps! I always love to see those.
Bronte is a super cute story of a princess who wants to go to knight school, but when she gets there she notices everything is going a little wrong. The story is so well put together with adventure and bravery and fun at its core. The animal characters were great, especially Lord Errol <3
I especially liked that no one wants to really be a hero at the school, except poor Bronte!
I can’t wait for the second book, which is coming out soon. Definitely a great one for younger readers. 4 stars.
Buy Bronte Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds by Bex Hogan from Waterstones or Blackwells.
