Product Description

Princess Emeralda isn't exactly an ideal princess. Her laugh sounds like a donkey's bray rather than tinkling bells, she trips over her own feet more often than she gracefully curtsies, and she hates the young Prince Jorge whom her mother hopes she will marry. But if Emeralda ever thought to escape from her frustrating life, she never expected it to happen by turning into a frog! This is a deliciously original and fast-paced fairy tale that turns the tables on the traditional frog-prince story, featuring a fascinating and hilarious cast of characters and starring a witty and unforgettable - princess.

Very Good
Even though I'm not usually into the whole spin off fairy tale book this to my suprise was actually very good.
It is about a princess called Esmerelda(Emma), who hates being a princess, is not particularly beautiful,
does not get on at all with her mother(who is trying to marry her off to a big headed prince whom she despises)
and is only ever herself with her aunt a witch who is still mourning for her lost love who disappeared years ago. So one day Emma goes down to the swamp(where she knows her mother
or Prince Jorge would never go down to in a million years) and meets a talking frog who says hes a prince and asks her to kiss him. She says no way and goes back to the castle.
But then she starts to feel guilty and goes back to the swamp the next day to find the frog and kisses him.
And to her horror, gets turned into a frog herself!!
Will Emma be stuck as a Frog forever?!!
If you want to find out buy this book!

Utterly Fabulous!!!!
Princess Emeralda is not your exact vision of a princess. She is not very pretty and is so clumsy she even trips over her own two feet! On the day she finds out she is to wed the snobby Prince Jorge, she escapes to the swamp, where she meets a Frog. He asks her to kiss him, but she says "no!" as you would expect. But little does she know that when she kisses the frog that her life will be turned upside down...

An original tale that will make you laugh, and make you feel sad, this is a good read and will never fail to delight people of all ages.
