Standing Up For Grace
Imperia Encanto, the oldest daughter of Prince Charming and Cinderella, can’t stop the girls at her exclusive private school from picking on her sister Grace. In her home Kingdom, Princess Imperia merely frowns to make everyone do her bidding. But in Beverly Hills, no one believes in fairy tales.
Too young to have magic, unable to charm like her father does, Imperia relies on something strictly American—her fists. But the punch heard round Los Angeles only makes matters worse. Imperia must make things right—even if she doesn’t want to.
Standing Up For Grace, the first Imperia Encanto adventure, showcases the difference between our world and the fairy tale world. The adventure stands alone, but fans of Kristine Grayson’s novel, Wickedly Charming, will note that this story takes place while the divorced Prince Charming falls in love—illustrating the difference between what kids tell their parents and what actually happens. Much like the difference between the fairy tale and the story behind it.
“Grayson’s clever, humor-tinged writing is absolutely delightful.”
—Booklist
“Reality and fairy tales collide in this altogether delightful story.”
—Publishers Weekly on Wickedly Charming

We meet Dave Encanto in the short story anthology "Geek Romance", now meet Dave and Ella aka Cinderella's two daughters Imperia and Grace. After being left on their grandparent's kingdom doorsteps , Imperia and Grace have been sent to the "Greater World" to live with their dad. However, this means attending private school.
Standing up for Grace is a short story and basically is one sister standing up for the other as Grace has been getting picked on and taunted by school bully Skylar and Imperia has decided that enough is enough and decides to take things into her own hands by teaching Skylar a lesson. What happens though when the lesson ends up getting out of control and the consequences maybe too much to handle? Read as Imperia heads to the "Kingdom" to gather advice from her Grandmother.
Standing up from Grace is a good short story that holds a very memorable lesson and moral . It also shows us that when someone is a bully , it pays to look a little closer to their home lives or life as it may stem from there.
If you are looking for a fast and quick read as I read this in 45minutes on my lunchbreak at work, then Standing up for Grace is the short story for you.
