Description

A deliciously frothy fairy tale from the award-winning author of The Book of Boy and the Dairy Queen series (Horn Book Magazine, starred review).

Catherine Gilbert Murdocks talents for storytelling and creating strong female characters take a fresh turn in this spirited and sophisticated fairy tale.

Benevolence is not your typical princess. With her parents lost to assassins, Princess Ben ends up under the thumb of the conniving Queen Sophia. Starved and miserable, locked in the castles highest tower, Ben stumbles upon a mysterious enchanted room. So begins her secret education in the magical arts: mastering an obstinate flying broomstick, furtively emptying the castle pantries, setting her hair on fire . . . But Bens private adventures are soon overwhelmed by a mortal threat to her kingdom. Can Ben save the country and herself from foul tyranny?

Murdock spins a rip-roaring yarn that borrows fairy-tale conventions (particularly from Sleeping Beauty) and reverses them to suit her strong, resourceful heroine.The wild adventure, intricately imagined setting, memorable characters, and romance will charm readers, especially fans of Gail Carson Levines Fairest.Booklist (starred review)

Murdocks first venture into fantasy offers a fairy tale with several twists and surprises, and readers will be drawn into the world and moods that she creates.School Library Journal
