Synopsis
The M girls prefer fun adventures against villains that a prune pie can defeat. Then a crazy young man who believes he should rule the world captures them, wants CJ as his heir, and threatens Queen Clair. No heroes step forward, so the M girls take the task on themselves. In this notebook CJ and the gang become more involved in the politics of the world, and the story leads into the larger events that follow in later books of the Sartorias-deles saga.
