The president asks for her help in the strangest way, and she ends up on an iceburg in the frigid ocean well above the Arctic Circle.

A dog powered flying machine, a troll trying to help the tooth fairy, a mind reading princess, and a stubborn boy. A perfect combination of characters with a great story to go with it. Besides the corny jokes like "Can you get fur from a skunk? Yes, as fur way as possible". Over all, this is one of the best books I have ever read. I really think you should read "Once Upon a Marigold" by Jean Ferris to find out how these characters come together.
