Frogged by Vivian VandeVelde - ESSENTIAL


VandeVelde, Vivian Frogged, 198 p. Harcourt, 2013.  $17.  Content: G.  

Princess Imogene, 12, was just trying to help the poor enchanted frog who said he was a cursed prince.  However, she instead finds herself the new bearer of the curse – yes, she’s a frog.  On one hand it gets her out of princess lessons.  On the other hand, it gets her frog-napped by a tiny band of travelling players, who are not in a hurry to listen to her royal tale and instead want to exploit her talking-frog abilities.  How in this world will she be able to escape and hop all the way back home before her birthday?  

Cute, cute, cute!  VandeVelde has created a wonderful new fairy tale twist that little girls will thoroughly enjoy!
