ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This is about a boys named Johnny. He works in a shoe repair shop on South Bech in Miami, Florida. Him and his mom are very poor. Then one day he meets Princess Victoriana from Aloria. She asks Johnny to help her find her brother who has been turned into a frog by a witch. Johnny doesn't believe her but he agrees anyways because he wants something fun to do. Then it goes on with lots of challenges and adventures that go on.
THE PLOT:
I really liked this book a lot. Alex Flinn's writing style is one of my favorites. She uses fairytale stories and mixes it up with a modern twist. I love fairytales because they always make me really happy and it's even better to have it happen in our time because then I'm more familiar with everything that's going on.
THE CHARACTERS:
JOHNNY- I had a few problems with Johnny. I felt like he was a little selfish. He only went on the quest was because he was bored and he would be able to get married to the princess and become rich. I didn't mind it too much since he was trying to help his mom also. Other than that he was a really great male character.MEG- She is Johnny's best friend. She is a really great friend. She helped Johnny out with his challenges instead of letting him figure everything out himself.
VICTORIANA- She is the princess. At first you think that she's a partier, drinker, buys lots of shoes, and doesn't have a single brain cell. Then into the book you realize she's a really sweet girl that cares a lot about her brother.
This book is a really good one. Definitely check it out if you liked her other stories Beastly and A Kiss In Time. :)
MY RATING: 4.5/5 STARS
