Thumbelina
The Diamond Castle
The Island Princess



Far away in a beautiful meadow lived the tiny Twillerbees. They used their

special magic to make the flowers and plants grow faster. The Twillerbees were
very shy and always stayed hidden—except for Thumbelina.

“I’m flying!” exclaimed Thumbelina as she glided through the air on flower-
petal wings.

Suddenly, a huge construction machine lifted the girls’ flower patch right out
of the ground. Thumbelina and her friends soon found themselves in a fabulous
apartment.

A spoiled girl named Makena had had their flower patch transported to her
home to impress her friends. To make matters worse, Makena’s parents were
going to build a skateboard factory on Twillerbee Field!

Thumbelina knew she had to do something. While her friends flew back to
Twillerbee Field to warn the others, she tried to reason with Makena.

“If you convince your parents to stop building their factory, I’ll make special
things for you to show your friends,” Thumbelina said as she created a beautiful
leaf purse.

Later that day, the Twillerbees used their special magic to create an enormous
sunflower. The construction crew ran away in fear! Twillerbee Field was safe—
for now.

Back at the apartment, Thumbelina transformed Makena’s wilting plants into
beautiful flowers. Then Makena gave Thumbelina a makeover.

“Thank you,” Thumbelina said after Makena put sparkly ribbons and beautiful
barrettes in her hair. Makena now realized that Thumbelina was a true friend.
She knew she had to help save Twillerbee Field.

Thumbelina had a great idea. She and the Twillerbees magically transformed
Makena’s parents’ empty greenhouse into a lush tearoom. Makena’s mom and
dad were amazed!

They realized they had to save Twillerbee Field. Construction was stopped
just in time!

Instead of building a factory, Makena’s parents decided to turn the field into a
beautiful nature preserve. Twillerbee Field was saved!

And Makena and her family kept their friendship with Thumbelina and the
Twillerbees a special secret.



Once upon a time, there were two beautiful best friends. Alexa loved violets

and Liana loved roses—but they both loved to sing.

One day, Alexa and Liana found two heart-shaped stones and made them into
necklaces.

“Best friends today, tomorrow, and always!” they wished. The girls didn’t
notice, but the stones mysteriously began to glow.…

Later that day, the friends discovered a young girl named Melody hiding
inside a small antique mirror!

Melody was from the birthplace of all music, the Diamond Castle. She worked
as an apprentice for the muses, or guardians of music.

Melody told them that a wicked muse named Lydia wanted to rule the
Diamond Castle. To protect the castle, the other muses had used magic to hide it.

Furious, Lydia had played her evil flute and turned the muses to stone.
Melody had escaped with the only key to the castle’s hiding place, then
hidden herself inside the mirror.

Alexa and Liana knew they had to help Melody find the Diamond Castle. But
as they traveled through the forest, Lydia found them.

“Give me the mirror,” the wicked muse demanded Alexa and Liana refused.
Lydia angrily tried to turn them to stone with her flute—but the girls’ heart
necklaces magically protected them!

After a narrow escape, Liana and Alexa used Melody’s key to find the
Diamond Castle. The key was a special song! As they sang together, the castle
appeared!

Inside the Diamond Castle’s jeweled halls, Liana’s and Alexa’s dresses
magically transformed into beautiful gowns. Sparkles of light circled the mirror
and Melody appeared before them. She was finally free!

Suddenly, Lydia appeared and began to play her evil flute. Thinking quickly,
the girls started to play the Diamond Castle’s enchanted instruments. They
played and sang in perfect harmony.

“No!” cried Lydia.
Melody, Liana, and Alexa’s beautiful music protected them against Lydia’s
spell—and turned the evil muse and her helper to stone!

Soon the muses were no lonber statues. Liana and Alexa were made
Princesses of Music.

“Best friends today, tomorrow, and always!” they cried happily.



Long ago, a beautiful young girl named Ro was shipwrecked on a tropical

island.

With no other humans on the island, Ro was raised by Sagi the red panda,
Azul the peacock, and Tika the elephant. Together they became a happy family.

Years later, a handsome prince came to the island. He was amazed that Ro
could speak to animals! “My name is Prince Antonio,” he said.

The prince fell in love with the island girl and asked her to return to his
kingdom with him. Ro agreed as long as she could bring her animal family with
her.

At the palace, King Peter had arranged for his son Antonio to marry Princess
Luciana. Luciana’s mother, Queen Ariana, wanted the marriage, too—so that she
could secretly take over Peter’s kingdom!

The next day, King Peter held an engagement ball for his son. Ro didn’t have
anything to wear, so her animal family created a beautiful gown for her.

At the ball, the prince couldn’t take his eyes off Ro.

Queen Ariana was furious! She didn’t want Ro to ruin her plans. So Ariana
poisoned all the animals in the kingdom, then blamed Ro’s animals for causing
the sleeping sickness.

King Peter ordered Ro and her animals to be sent back to their island.

Unfortunately, Azul had eaten some of Ariana’s poison, too! Ro knew she
needed to make an antidote with the island roses that grew in the castle’s
greenhouse.

With the help of some friendly dolphins, Ro and her friends headed back to
the palace.

At the palace, a tiny bird told Ro that Queen Ariana had poisoned the animals.
Realizing that her plot had been uncovered, Ariana fled in her carriage.

But Ro quickly threw a pike at one of the carriage wheels, and the queen
tumbled into a muddy pigsty!

Ro swiftly made the antidote with the island roses. All the animals slowly
awoke.

“Will you marry me, Ro?” Prince Antonio asked.
Ro agreed. “But please call me Rosella. That’s my real name.”

Just then, a wedding guest approached. “I had a daughter named Rosella,”
Queen Marissa said. “But she was lost at sea.”

“Mother!” Ro cried. She was a princess!

Soon the wedding of Prince Antonio and Princess Rosella was held at the
palace.

Prince Antonio married his island princess— and they lived happily ever after.
