La bruja que no quería ser princesa / The Witch Who Didnt Want to Be a Princess

«¿Princesa, yo? ¿Me has visto bien? ¡Soy una bruja!»
 
La temible bruja Petra de los Tornados es la legítima heredera del difunto rey Papanatas V y debe ocupar su lugar como princesa de Sotavento. Pero ¡ella es una bruja! Aun así, vivir en un palacio resulta tan tentador que Petra decide intentar convertirse en princesa. ¿Qué puede haber mejor que pasarse el día tumbada en una gran cama, paseando por los jardines y haciendo lo que le apetezca? Pronto Petra descubrirá que ser princesa no es tan divertido como parece...
 
Este no es un cuento corriente sobre brujas y princesas. Es una historia sobre ser uno mismo que invita a huir de los estereotipos. Porque las cosas no siempre son lo que parecen... Y porque igual no todas queremos ser princesas.
 
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“A princess? Me? Have you seen me? I’m a witch!”
 
Fearsome witch Petra of Tornados is the legitimate heir to the late King Papanatas V and must take her rightful place as the Leeward Princess. But, she is a witch! Still, living in a palace is so tempting that Petra decides to try to become a princess. What could be better than spending the day lying on a big bed, strolling through the gardens, and doing anything you wish? Petra will soon find out that being a princess is not as fun as it seems.
 
This is not an ordinary tale about witches and princesses. It is a story about being yourself which invites you to put aside stereotypes. Because things are not always what they seem ... And because we don't all want to be princesses anyway.
Susanna Isern nació en La seu d'Urgell y creció rodeada de montañas. Allí encontraba animales que le susurraban historias al oído, y ella se dedicaba a transcribirlas. En la actualidad las historias surgen de muchos lugares y de manera a veces inesperada. Susanna compagina su pasión por la escritura con su pasión por la Psicología.
