Prince Lucas has everything a boy could want -- except a friend. After an honest talk with his parents, his father finally lets him befriend Clara, daughter of the palace dressmaker. The two are thrilled. When Lucas learns that his mother has lost her beautiful prized emerald, he and Clara set off to find it, not only doing a good deed for his mom, but cementing their friendship.
This is a cute, fun adventure story. It would work well for either boys or girls, and the lack of true peril keeps it from being scary, while the action still moves the pace along. The large font and copious illustrations make it a good fit for early chapter book readers who are ready for slightly longer stories.
