Operation Royal Roller Toaster - A MLP Chapter Book Submission
Part of the batch of stories I am trying to submit to Little Brown and Company for their MLP Chapter Book Series. Princess Celestia has agreed to chaperone Twilight's Friendship School students (The Young Six) on a trip to a Fillydelphia amusement park on the day of the unveiling of a new ride, The Friendship Express. For this trip Celestia has recruited her sister, Luna, as she herself has never ridden a rollercoaster and the prospects of a day riding them seems daunting. But that is not the only drama as young Sandbar faces his own personal fears embodied by riding Princess Cadance's love coaster... With his best friend, who may be so much more to him. Despite multiple edits this will need a few more edits before it is 100% but I completed the story and wanted to get this updated version out ASAP for hopefully a pick up of new readers. The more I get exposure the better my odds pitching this once I get a Literary Agent. So please like and share with your friends. Thanks.Complete
