After reluctantly kissing a frog, an awkward, fourteen-year-old princess suddenly finds herself a frog, too, and sets off with the prince to seek the means--and the self-confidence--to become human again. A Texas Lone Star Reading List Book. A Book Sense 76 Children's Pick
My thought
This really clumsy princess has to marry a self-obsessed prince so everyday he comes to visit she runs away to the swamp. There she meets a talking frog who persuades her to kiss him. When she kisses him SHE turns into a frog. And then they try and turn back into a princess and prince.
It is A fun book to read; a twist on the classic fairytale story. Kind of reminds me of the Disney movie "The Princess and the Frog" I liked story because it was fantasy. It was easy for me to read, so I finished fast. If you like the "Fairytales with a Twist" genre, you'll love these books as much as I do.
