Not a regular seven year old could do all of that. After Molly was left at Dethemere's castle, she became a maid. The staff wasn't an nicer to her there than at home. The cook beat her and made Molly and the other maids do endless work for the king and queen. Instead of Molly getting down, it made her work harder.
Another reason why the theme of the book is bravery is the key to success is because Molly can see visions of things that are going to say in the future. this made it easier for Molly to know when the royal family was in trouble. Molly's mother wasn't as bad as her father. The mother was just like Molly, she could see visions too. So before Molly went to Dethemere's castle the Mother told Molly to not let anyone know about her ability. In the middle of the book wolfs attack the castle. Molly already knows this is going to happen because she saw it in a vision. Molly couldn't save king Edmund, the Queen or the poor princess, but molly and her friend Tobias bravely killed a wolf and saved prince Alaric.
Lastly, the theme of the book is bravery is the key to success because at the end of the book Molly saved the last member of the royal family. Prince Alaric had been injured on the shoulder by the bite of a wolf. Tobias and Molly sheltered Alaric from whatever came their way and finally when the day came that Alaric was all better he reclaimed his thrown from his cousin. This wouldn't be possible if it weren't for Molly's quick thinking.
