Princess Tales

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
Levine fractures fairy tales in the nicest possible way as she's previously demonstrated in the The Princess Test and The Fairy's Mistake [both in BKL Ap 15 99]. Her latest book in the Princess Tales series wittily conflates "Cinderella" and "The Glass Hill," adding a gender switch for spice. Ellis longs for his older brothers Ralph and Burt to include him, to approve of him, to appreciate and love him. But they simply ignore him and his fool inventions and call him Cinderellis instead, after his flying powder produced a messy result in the chimney. Princess Marigold, whose father is always going off on quests and leaving her alone, wishes she had a real friend besides her cat, Apricot. When the king, grounded from too many quests gone awry, puts Marigold on a glass hill that suitors have to climb, she figures she better have an escape mechanism. Besides, while interviewing potential princes disguised as a dairymaid, she finds few with good kingdom-ruling ideas. Cinderellis, of course, is full of ideas, and after a few missteps and three magic horses, Ellis and Marigold live happily ever after in a way that includes Ellis' inventions and Marigold's sweet temper. Endearing to the max. GraceAnne A. DeCandido |

I would have given Cinderellis and the Glass Hill 10 stars if I could! IT IS WONDERFUL! In my opinion it's is even better than Ella Enchanted! It is a great book with a terrific sense of humor! Cinderellis and the Glass Hill is hillarious (especially when first read)!This book is Gail Carson Levine's best book yet! (and thats saying something because she writes REALLY good books). I (in case you havn't noticed) highly recomend this book. |
