Princess Katie and the Silver Pony (The Tiara Club Series) »

Vivian French was best known in school for being extremely skinny and for talking a lot. At school she developed an attachment to words and later became an actor, then a storyteller, and finally a writer of children's books. She is the author of more than two hundred books. Ms. French lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, and has four grown daughters.

Everyone at the Princess Academy takes Wish Class. Princess Katie and her friends must use their wishes wisely--but watch out for horrible Princess Perfecta; she has other ideas!

Publishers Weekly

The Tiara Club series from Vivian French launches a trio of titles about young royals attending the Princess Academy: Princess Charlotte and the Birthday Ball, Princess Katie and the Silver Pony and Princess Daisy and the Dazzling Dragon, all illus. by Sarah Gibb. In the first book, Princess Charlotte recalls her first day at the academy and the suspense building up to the title ball-to which the princess's pals may have nothing to wear, and it's all Charlotte's fault. Luckily, "Fairy G." helps her save the day. A generous sprinkling of illustrations pump up the glamour quotient and make these ideal for newly independent readers, and the paperback editions come with stickers of the heroines.
