Memorable (quote / citation ) from the story
Because good things happen only when you don't
think much about it
Paulina did not think much of the competition
Turning point / climax of the story
It is the turning point when Princess Paulina
stuttered the words 'Pete's uhh'. This is how
the queen thought that the recipe she made
was called pizza, and she won the competition.
Conflicts
She and the long braided princess were in the final
and the other princess also made a pretty recipe.

Main Events (i.a.)
Type the main events of the book, classifying them in: events from the beginning, events from the middle, and events from the end of the book.
Describe the story visually. Add a representative picture for each of them.
Even if your competer's design looks good,
do not be jealous of them. Even if you don't
win, it is important not to be grumpy. Paulina
saw the other princess's recipes, and she
thought she would be beheaded for sure. But
the prince liked the taste of her pizza, not just
the look. You will always be lucky if you try.
Princess Paulina's life changed entirely after
Queen Vera allowed her to build a shop of her
own down the streets. Queen Vera was proud
of her, and she and Paulina's dad became great
friends, and Paulina's worries of having Queen
Vera as a stepmother starts to arise.
Life was good. Paulina was glad that
she didn't have Queen Vera as her
mother-in-law, but she worried about
one thing. She worried she would get
Queen Vera as her stepmother!
Always believe in your own ideas. Only
your idea is the best, no matter how great
the other person's design looks. When
Paulina made her pizza, she saw the other
princess's 'beautiful' recipes and thought she
might be beheaded. But, she was the only
one that had the truth, as the others had all
cheated. Your idea is the key to all the cells.
The competition took part in Queen Vera's palace.
The other 'princesses' were all sent home execpt for
Paulina. The queen begged her to give them the
recipe of her delicious pizza, but she told them the recipe
for her pizza must remain a family secret. Queen Zela
begged and begged and finally, Paulina decided to
open a pizza shop, allowing everyone in the town to feast.
Every Thursday, on the royal chef's
day off, Queen Zelda and Prince Drupert
went to Paulina's for Popcorn-Pineapple
Pizza. They often stayed to play cards
with Paulina's father.
This is a fantasy story. It is about a
a girl name Paulina who doesn't have a job.
Paulina's father has given up his role of being
the king and decides to be a woodchopper. I
think that he shouldn't have dragged Paulina
into his business too, since it is his own idea.
Paulina soon discovers her life is not what it
seems like.
Princess Paulina decides to enter a competition.
She does 4 games and wins each of them. But,
each game has its own difficulties. The other 11
princesses do not want to be outdone, and some
of them are pretending to be a princess. It turns
out that only Paulina is the real one, and the others
just want to marry the prince.
