Description
A fun-filled fantasy quest starring an unforgettable new hero: BRONTE TEMPESTRA!
Bronte Tempestra of the Storm Kingdom is taking charge of her own destiny - she will be the first ever princess to become a knight!
But knight school isn't the fun-filled adventure Bronte is expecting - the knights don't seem interested in saving . . . anything. And when she discovers that the Lightning Steeds have gone missing, leaving the Thunder Trolls to wreak havoc across the lands, she knows it's her moment to prove just how brave a princess can be.
Bronte must face down pompous griffin lords and bare-bottomed cloud-stealing gnomes, monstrous horrorflies and spooky zombits. The future of the entire kingdom is at stake...
It's time for the princess to rescue the knights!
The first book in a new fantasy series for readers aged 7 and up, packed with illustrations. Perfect for fans of RAINBOW GREY, WITCH WARS and THE PRINCESS IN BLACK.

It makes a refreshing change to read a Bex Hogan book that doesn't eviscerate the soul.
Brontë Tempestra and the Lightning Steeds is an absolutely delightful read.
Brontë is a Princess who always wanted to be a Knight but wasn't allowed, because until now only boys could be Knights (and it turns out they're not that great at it, preferring prancing around to actually protecting anyone). She's not having that and when the Lightening Steeds go missing she sets out on a true Knights quest to find out what's going on.
Packed with brilliant magical creatures (I was a huge fan of the very pompous Lord Errol), lots of silly humour (right up my street, and perfect for younger readers) and a gorgeous cast of characters.
The perfect book for any girl who grew up wanting to be the Knight and not the Princess. I can't wait to share this one with my niece.

Brontë is a princess in the storm kingdom but she wants to be a knight more than anything else! When Sir Sebastian’s Sxhool for Sauores decides to allow all children to attend, not just boys, Brontë is thrilled.
She heads off but as she does, she notices that the thunder trolls are on the move and the lightning steeds are missing. She bears this in mind as she begins her new adventure at knight school. She has much to learn and being the only girl, she must truly prove her worth.
She soon befriends Tonkins, and finds her place but she also becomes disillusioned and disappointed at the attitude of the school towards the role of being a knight. She wants to be bold, brave and true but the teachers seem to be more about the pomp and ceremony of knight hood.
Brontë has a heart of gold and is determined to save those who need it. She uses her head and her instincts to begin putting the puzzle pieces together and heads into the forest for answers.
She meets Lord Errol and he becomes an ally, one who will be very helpful, against his griffin nature. Brontë proves she is more than up for the challenge of being a knight, one who is just and courageous.
A brilliant start to a new series. I can’t wait to see more adventures from Brontë, Tomkins and ice kitten Blue!
Fantastic illustrations allow the reader to enter this fantasy world of creatures, myths and legends!
