Booklist - 01/17/2024 What can a princess do when she no longer wants to be part of her own story? For Rosamund, a kiss from a prince wasn't all it was cracked up to be, and she flees through a Door of Opportunity that takes her to the modern world. Here, she discovers she isn't the only fairy tale leading character who wanted out, and she finds herself in a school setting with a fairy godmother as the headmistress. Except, she starts to notice some things are just . . . off. Rosamund and her new friends eventually decide that they want, quite literally, to take control of their own stories once they uncover the truth about the princess protection program. This is a fresh twist on several classic Western fairy tales, which gets the most inspiration from the darker original versions of events in which some of the princesses, like the Little Mermaid, have gruesome fates they wish to escape. Fans of twisted fairy tales will enjoy piecing together who the different characters are and matching them with their stories. - Copyright 2024 Booklist.
