About This Book

A young princess is tasked with rescuing a spoiled prince—if she really wants to—in this fantasy adventure by the author of Dragon Bait.

Once upon a time there lived a very nice but very plain young princess named Jennifer. And she had the bad luck to fall in love with the very handsome but very conceited prince Alexander. The prince had a gift for offending everyone he met, including one day an evil witch, who cast a deep spell over him. It falls to Jennifer to save him.


Yet how can a nice (but average) princess hope to defeat a powerful witch? And why save Alexander? Because she loves him? But does she really?


"Happily ever after" happens only in fairy tales . . .

"An original and delightful parody of the classic fairy-tale genre." —School Library Journal
