A little magic under the tree
A Christmas gift for curious kids
A missing crown, unusual friends and an adventure imagined by an eight-year-old.
Banana Queen and the Missing Crown by Keira is an illustrated chapter book for ages 7–9. For a child who loves magical worlds and a mystery to unravel, it is a thoughtful gift to open — and then get lost in.
Who will enjoy it?
Think of the young reader who invents creatures, asks what happens next and enjoys stories of friendship and courage. The 114-page paperback pairs the adventure with black-and-white illustrations.
It suits readers aged 7–9, whether they are enjoying chapter books independently or sharing a family read-aloud. Reading confidence varies, so take a look inside together if you are choosing for a child you know.
What is the story about?
The crown has disappeared. The clues are getting stranger. And Banana Queen is going to need a little courage — and a few unusual friends — to find it.
Queens, goblins, giants and a little star called Nova fill a wonderfully strange world. This is a magical adventure to give at Christmas, rather than a story set at Christmas.
