Synopsis (from

In the tradition of
Gail Carson Levine, Karen Cushman, and Shannon Hale comes a magical debut that
weaves favorite fairy tale elements into a fabulous new story starring an
irrepressible heroine.
Jillian’s Review:
This was a lot like reading The Princess of the Midnight
Ball by Jessica Day George, only The Princess Curse is Middle Grade instead of Young
Adult which means there’s not nearly enough romance for my taste. That being
said, it’s still a great read. There’s lots of action and humor with a great
heroine.
As with the majority of MG and YA novels I’ve read, the
heroine is strong willed, smart, and determined, which are all great qualities
(especially when reading about a person with them) but not true to the typical teenager.
I often forgot that the main character was only 13 and thus kept looking
forward to the romance. It never came, which it good when the main girl is only
13! I wrote the sequel to this one in my mind after I finished
reading it. My sequel was YA a few years afterwards so the girl is old enough to have a romance with the guy and I went to sleep
happy.
A great book for girls ages 10-13ish.

Sweet! I have two girls that are 10 to 13ish and I'll bet they would love this book! (Their mom might even love it too!) Thanks!
