TIARA WARS: BOOK ONE

​

​“Could you be friends with someone you really didn’t like?”
Danielle lived the kind of life that most girls only dreamed about. She was called Princess at home and she was treated like a princess by everyone, except Heather in school. These two fifth graders didn’t get along and didn’t see anything alike, but Danielle’s missing tiara would play an important role in proving that a princess and a ‘commoner’ could learn to get along through even the worst of differences. As it turns out, each of these girls will come to know that they need each other and that everyone around them will have to accept this friendship.
