Corpus bones, I must make a plan. Luckily I am experienced at outwitting suitors . . .
Catherine's in trouble. her father is trying to marry her off to disgusting old Shaggy Beard, and her mother's determined to turn her into the perfect medieval lady. Will either of them succeed? Not if Catherine has anything to do with it!
