By sprikles on may 8 2019 see all reviews by sprikles a great show it has a nice pace that lets you sink into the world of the twelve kingdoms. I was so addicted and just wanted more. She does what she is asked gets good grades is the class president and even helps her classmates whenever she can but because of her red hair she has never fit in.
