I would also like to thank Victoria Wells Arms,įor their comments and suggestions. This book is dedicated to Ellie, Kimmy, and Nate Princess Book One in the Tales of the Frog Princess ![]() Recommended for readers ages 8 to 12, though older lovers of fairy tales may enjoy it too. While perhaps not the strongest offering in the fractured fairy-tale genre, readers who have enjoyed Kaye’s The Ordinary Princess, Ferris’ Once Upon a Marigold or Wrede’s Enchanted Forest Chronicles may still wish to check out this title. Sadly, this novel’s strong beginning and ending are somewhat compromised by a rambling middle that take our heroes far from home, quite unnecessarily we soon learn. Readers will certainly be rooting for the happily-ever-after ending, which comes, as expected, with a twist. This fractured fairy tale incorporates many clever twists on classic fairy tales, and its humorous mix of allusions coupled with likeable leads and snappy dialogue make for a lighthearted romantic comedy. ![]() Clumsy Princess Emeralda will do anything to escape an arranged marriage – even kiss an enchanted frog prince – but when that kiss turns her into a frog too, she must team up with the frog to find a way to turn them both into humans again. ![]()
