In this sequel to Princess of the Midnight Ball, we get to hear the story of Poppy who we met in the previous book. Three years have passed since Poppy and her sisters defeated the King Under Stone and stopped having to dance nightly with his sons. Now, Poppy is visiting her cousin and hoping to have a nice time meeting new people. But everyone is amazed that she won’t dance and there are rumors that she and her sisters can do magic. Poppy still manages to find some good friends, but when another curse threatens to ruin those friendships, she knows she will have to unravel another curse. This time, it is based on the tale of Cinderella, but Poppy is not Cinderella. It is a wonderful tale. George is an exceptionally good writer and manages to make fairy tale retellings come to life.
