GENRE: Romance,
Fairy Tale Retelling, Humor
HONORS: None
known
REVIEW: Princess
Emeralda, or Emma for short isn’t the stereotypical princess. She’s a little
awkward, quirky and as a laugh like a donkey. Her mother wants her to marry the
vain prince Jorge, but when she meets a frog who claims he will transform into
a prince with a kiss from a princess, she decides that anything is better than
a life with Jorge and gives in. Only, the spell backfires and Emma becomes a
frog and the two set out on an adventure to return them both to their natural
form.
OPINION: I had
trouble finding tween books with romance, until finding this series. The story
was cute and romantic without getting overly sappy.
IDEAS: This would
be good in a display of fairy tale retellings or juvenile romance.
