A fabulous modern fable, this is a powerful princess tale with a twist!

When Bella Beetroot is asked to do anything she doesn't want to, she holds her breath and goes until she goes bright red in the face - as red as a beetroot!

And then one day, right in the middle of a tantrum,a mighty eagle comes and swoops her away, on an incredible adventure.

She defeats dragons, doesn'tmarry a prince (no, thank you!), and is still home in time for tea...
