What is The cherry pie princess about?

Princess Peony is tired of being told to sit still, look pretty and obey. In a kingdom filled with trolls, giants and fairy godmothers, she longs to learn useful skills, especially cooking. When she borrows a recipe book from the library, her father has the helpful librarian arrested for speaking out of turn. Determined to put things right, Peony must find the courage to challenge the king’s unfair rules and prove that even a princess can make a difference.
