Help! Princess Shona needs help fixing a few things around the Castle-by-the-Woods! Are you the young engineer she’s been searching for?

The castle’s drawbridge won’t budge. The chickens’ henhouse is falling apart. Poor Dragon needs a pulley to remove a sore tooth. And The Royals’ Wing-Thing is unable to take flight. Which one of these inventions will you fix?

The Fix-it Princess is a fun, fantastical fantasy romp with one major Royal problem to solve (finding Princess Shona’s missing parents), and a whole lot of other challenges along the way. This whimsical tale is perfect for junior to middle grade readers to get their hammers and nails stuck into!

Here’s what we’re looking for:

The most interesting, unique and BEST ‘fix-it’ project will WIN a SIGNED copy of The Fix-it Princess by Janeen Brian (illustrated by Cherie Dignam)! PLUS! We have another copy to giveaway to another lucky winner!*

*Second prize winner to receive an UNSIGNED copy.


Here’s how to do it. Choose one of the following ways to enter:

1. Engineer and build your own DIY project using craft items and household materials. Attach a photo with your first name and age (for kids), and a short description of your invention to jwfkcompetition@gmail.com, or via the contact form at the button below.

Bonus points if you upload it to social media and tag @booksontour_aus, @janeen.brian and #thefixitprincess, #fixitcompetition.

N.B. No identifying details will be published without prior permission.

2. If you’d like to enter without a photo upload, you can still fill in your details via the form below with your answer to: ‘Tell us about your own ‘fix-it’ project.‘ You will go in the draw for a chance to win a copy of The Fix-it Princess.
