Move over Tinker Bell. There’s a new fairy in town!
Ben’s luck is changing. He has his iconic VW bus, a hot, wealthy girlfriend, and he’s managed to buy an old fixer-upper in an upscale neighborhood—just the thing to convince his girlfriend’s influential father that he’s husband material. But his new home has a secret, and when Ben opens a mysterious grandfather clock, he finds himself dropped into a magical land. There he meets Pringle, a six-inch prawn with a supercharged attitude and a pouchful of fairy dust. She saves his life, and when Ben returns to his world, Pringle returns with him.
Pringle’s adjustment to the modern world is a hilarious series of incidents that completely disrupt Ben’s life. When Russian mobsters and a vengeful HOA president attempt to hijack Ben’s life, Pringle zooms to the rescue—a pinch here, a pinch there, nothing a little fairy dust can’t fix.
But it’s when Pringle begins to grow that things really get interesting, because as Pringle’s size increases, so do her feelings for Ben. Ultimately, Pringle must decide whether to return to her world—or follow her heart and stay with Ben.

I love stories that make me smile. I love stories that make me want to keep reading just for the pure enjoyment of being enveloped in a make-believe world. Michael Scott Clifton, you have a genius way of crafting a story that makes the characters engaging and memorable. Your latest book, Pringle Prawn shines as an unputdownable book.

Pringle Prawn is a fantabulous, fantasy story about a somewhat boring life of a history professor who gets transported to another world with the help of a key that opens a grandfather clock. In that small time in this other world, Ben meets a prawn/fairy named Pringle who saves his life. His life is never the same again.

Pringle Prawn introduces a few talking bees and concrete lions. Not to mention the talking gargoyle. The topper is a snarky talking door that comes alive making this story become vibrant and even fuller of life.

This story is not all magical. Clifton weaves in a friend for Ben who has his own backstory of how he became a bookstore owner. The author brings into this story a real-world problem of human trafficking and how the girls become rescued is inventive storytelling.

Clifton hit the magical ball out of the park with Pringle Prawn.

Also, the cover is drop-dead gorgeous.

 If you love fantasy and need some smiles then check out this fantabulous book.
