A Prince Problem
​by Isabel Mehta - 5th Grade

Prince Philip wishes he had friends, but his mother Queen Meredith thinks that the peasants of the kingdom are beneath him and not to be trusted. When Philip's butler offers him a deck of playing cards that once belonged to his grandfather, Philip finds some unexpected friends and a way to show his mother what friendship is really about.
