I thought this looked like an interesting non-fiction book that would be filled with interesting information. Unfortunately, it was poorly written and confusing. The book reads like a list of princesses without giving any information that girls might be interested in. The princesses come across as these cutout people without interests of their own. [...]

In this prequel to the Frog Princess books, we learn how Grassina becomes the Green Witch and how her mother becomes an evil hag. I enjoyed learning about the characters when they were younger and still love the way Baker writes, but it was rather a sad read for me. Having read the other books, [...]

First, let me talk about the cover of this book. Divine. I absolutely love it! Who would not want a dress like that! Certainly not me. I get distracted just looking at it. It is such a stunning book cover. I am not often blown away by the book covers, [...]
