Book Cover & Preview Text
It was a dreadful gray day in LaHappyville. The sun wasn’t shining and raindrops were coming down as big as gumdrops. Princess Pink looked through her bedroom window. “Oh, it is raining so heavily today. I have never seen rain like this in LaHappyville.”
The crown on Princess Pink’s head began to shake. “Wa, haw, haw, cough, cough.” A voice came from nowhere. “I see your precious crown has received my gift of unhappiness. How do you like that, Princess Twit?”
“Whatever,” said Princess Pink.
Princess Pink’s crown began to shake. “Uh oh, I think this must be a very serious problem.”
The crown said, “Oh yes it is, Princess Pink. Melinda needs your help really bad, and if you don’t help her, Drusilla will try to keep Melinda unhappy.” The crown showed Princess Pink a visual of Melinda. Melinda was lying in her bed, writing.
Dear Princess Pink,
What happened to my parents? Mommy and daddy used to be happy with each other; now, all I hear is slamming doors, hollering, screaming, and cars hitting the dust. To make matters worse, daddy has left the house with his things, and I have not done well in school. Princess Pink, please help; sadness, go away.
Love,
Melinda
