The Petrifying Problem with Princess Petronella

(Published in the US as Nicola Berry: Earthling Ambassador)

When an incredibly tall man interrupts Nicola Berry’s incredibly boring geography lesson, she’s sure that something fantastic and unexpected and unusual is about to happen.. and she’s right

The King and Queen of the planet Globagaskar have gone on holiday leaving their spoilt daughter, Princess Petronella in charge. The bored Princess decides to turn Earth, the holiday destination of choice for the discerning Globagaskarian, into a rubbish dump.

Armed with ten important questions devised by the Save the Little Earthlings Committee, Georgio Gorgioskio is dispatched to find the Earthling Ambassador, the only person in the galaxy who can change Princess Petronella’s mind. At Honeyville Primary School he discovers Nicola Berry, an ordinary girl about to embark on an extraordinary mission.
