’Taking a pfincess’s-eye view, Baker reworks the traditional story into high-spirited romantic comedy...This gives the well-known foiktaIe a decidedly less than ’Grimm’ cast, and fans of Gaff Carson Levine’s ’Princess Tales’ should leap for it."

--Kirkus Reviews on The Frog Princess

Many years ago, an angry fairy cast a curse on Princess Emma’s ancestor, Princess Hazel. The fairy decreed that Hazel and all her female descendants, upon reaching their sixteenth birthdays, could not touch a flower, or else all their youth, beauty, and kindness would be erased. No one before her has been powerful enough to undo the curse, but Emma is determined to outsmart an adversary she thought she’d left behind long ago.
