Prince of Another Time

By Pyra Intihar

Jessica clipped her frog to the dissection board and then looked around the room. All the other kids were doing it. Hunched over their lab tables in biology class, they worked in pairs, dissecting their frogs. Why couldn't she? It's because my lab partner is missing, Jessica tried telling herself, practicing for what she would tell her parents. She knew they would be angry. She knew her mother would blame her actions on unexpressed grief over her grandmother's death and haul her off to Dr. Mestnik's office for yet another counseling session where Jessica would explore her grief for the gazillionth time, parroting back answers she thought everyone wanted to hear. Most of all, she worried about her father. Things had changed since Nanookie died, and he'd stopped calling her Crow-Child. Instead, he called her irresponsible, saying she didn't follow through. This would be one more thing to add to the list.But she couldn't dissect the frog. Not this one. It was still...alive. And staring at her through amber eyes. All Jessica wanted was to go to the dance on Friday night. She hadn't planned on her biology experiment taking her on an international adventure full of secrets and intrigue.A modern version of an old fairy tale, Prince of Another Time employs magical realism to focus on the individual's place in the timeline of history. You don't want to miss out on this race against the clock to save a long-lost prince and his beloved Versailles.
