Subtitled Being a Wholly Truthful Account of Her Various Discoveries and Misadventures, Recounted to the Best of her Recollection, in Four Parts.
Published in 2008.
Audio book read by Catherine Gilbert Murdock.
I loved Catherine Gilbert Murdock's Dairy Queen and The Off Season, so I was curious about this young adult fairy tale. I was pleased to discover that Princess Benevolence - who is not-your-typical princess - is just as likable and "real" as D.J. Schwenk. I also loved the subtle tie-ins to some traditional fairy tales in this not-your-typical fairy tale.

I loved her other books, but for some reason I haven't felt the desire to read this one. Maybe I should re-think that?!
ReplyDeleteTricia: I felt a bit the same way. I just wasn't sure if she could successful switch genres. But after my daughters read Princess Ben and highly recommended it, I decided to give it a try. I definitely wasn't sorry!
ReplyDeleteI like the cover and title.
ReplyDeleteMy mom just checked this book out. I wanted to read it, but I don't know if I will have time to get to it before the due date.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the other books by this authoer either.
Thanks for your review.
I'm intrigued simply based on the name and the cover!
