Princess Emeralda isn't exactly an ideal princess. Her laugh sounds like a donkey's bray rather than tinkling bells, she trips over her own feet more often than she gracefully curtsies, and she hates the young Prince Jorge whom her mother hopes she will marry. But if Emeralda ever thought to escape from her frustrating life, she never expected it to happen by turning into a frog! A deliciously original and fast-paced fairy tale that turns the tables on the traditional frog-prince story, featuring a fascinating and hilarious cast of characters and starring a witty and unforgettable - princess.

"It was a cute clean story."

"The Frog Princess is a mid-lit fairy tale, the first of a series. It is the retelling of the classic Princess and the Frog with a twist: the princess becomes a frog. While the frog survival is interesting enough to carry the first part of the book, by the second half it becomes tedious as the same scene play over and over again. Also characters lose some of their dimensions, Emma is a damsel in distress and Eadric is a glutton. A fine book for its age group, but not much older. #frogprince "
