Molly lives in her own little world of make-believe and all things pink. That's because princesses wear pink! Princesses also dress up in pretty things, hang out with fairies...or in Molly's case, her pet dragonfly, and always find a way to be the center of attention.

With an army of mechanical rats close on her heels and an air ship of sky pirates above her, time is running out, and Ree can’t be sure who to trust. Drosselmeier’s dark world is unlike anything Ree has ever known. A lifetime of needlepoint, piano forte, and etiquette lessons had hardly prepared her for this …
