About this book

In this original musical, Barbie is a shipwrecked princess who talks and sings with a family of lovable animals! Raised by a red panda, a peacock, and a baby elephant, Barbie knows nothing of other humans, or her real identity. But all that changes when an adventurous prince discovers her tropical island. Now budding romance and a desire to uncover her past tempt Barbie to sail with the prince to his coastal castle. As Barbie learns to adjust to civilized life, she uncovers an evil queen's plot to marry her daughter to the prince and take over the kingdom! Can Barbie stop this plan and marry her true love?
