The sunshine princess of Corona and the mad hatter's son were never meant to get along. Talia Fitzherbert has spent her whole life adored by everyone-yet never been more lonely. Excited to finally begin her own adventure at Auradon Prep, she's determined to make friends, discover who she is beyond her crown, and maybe find where she truly belongs. Max Hatter wants absolutely nothing to do with Auradon, its royals, or their annoyingly perfect smiles. Forced to attend Auradon Prep after a lifetime on the Isle of the Lost, he's decided he's not here to make friends. When an overly friendly princess and an infuriatingly sarcastic boy in a top hat cross paths, sparks fly in all the wrong ways. But fate has other plans. Sometimes sunshine is exactly what madness needs.
