Brooklyn and the Potato Army by Winry High- Local Author New

Written and illustrated by 11-year-old author Winry High, Brooklynn and the Potato Army is a heartwarming and hilarious tale about self-acceptance, standing up to bullies, and learning that even potatoes can be heroes.

Princess Brooklynn dreams of being the most dazzling queen her kingdom has ever seen. But when her obsession with beauty leads her to insult a magical potato king, she’s cursed into something completely unexpected—a potato herself!

Now, banished from the kingdom and joined by a ragtag Potato Army, Brooklynn must face enchanted forests, thorny gardens that feed on unkind words, and a river that reveals her true reflection. Through laughter, adventure, and a few bumps along the way, Brooklynn discovers that true beauty doesn’t come from glittering crowns or fancy dresses—it comes from kindness, courage, and the friends who stand by your side.
