She has been raised by her Aunt Isabelle, with assistance from the Butler, and has spent a pleasant childhood of afternoon teas and riding lessons. Now, however, her parents have left detailed instructions for Bronte in their will. (Instructions that, annoyingly, have been reinforced with faery cross-stitch, which means that if she doesn't complete them, terrible things could happen) She must travel the kingdoms alone, delivering gifts to ten other aunts: a farmer aunt who owns an orange orchard, a veterinarian aunt who specializes in dragon care, a pair of aunts who captain a cruise ship, and a former rock star aunt who is now the reigning monarch of a small kingdom.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;But as she travels from aunt to aunt, Bronte suspects there might be more to this journey than the simple delivery of treasure; though little does she suspect that she will have to play such a big part in the extraordinary events that follow.\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Fans will also love book II in the series:\u0026lt;\/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;br\u0026gt;9781913101107  \u0026lt;i\u0026gt;The Slightly Alarming Tale of the Whispering Wars\u0026lt;\/i\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57316106109310,"sku":"NW9781913101053","price":8.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781913101053.jpg?v=1778648903","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/extremely-inconvenient-adv-bronte-mettle","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
