If for nothing else it's a sweet JDG story. <br /><br />Have you read...<br /><br />The Princess Curse by Merrie Haskell<br />The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall<br />The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom by Christopher Healy<br />The Theodosia books by R. L. LaFevers (she also wrote Grave Mercy)<br />The Pendragon Adventure by D. J. MacHale<br />The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen<br />The Queen's Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner<br /><br />Those are among my favorite MG books that I think make good YA crossovers.

This was a good book, but I think it fell short in comparison to the other books she's written. Does that make sense?

I would highly recommend reading the first book, and you can easily stop with it if you decide not to continue on.

But I seem to be having trouble finding middle grade books that are complex enough to hold my interest.<br /><br /><a href="http://hughesya.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lauren @ Hughes Reviews</a><br />LHugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447464817875756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955420282479112508.post-7781823104095262752012-12-15T12:16:18.917-05:002012-12-15T12:16:18.917-05:00Well, that is a little disappointing.

I've been eyeing her Princess books so I think I'll give the first one a shot and maybe stop there. Too bad this one didn't offer anything new. Love the cover though.Rummanah Aasihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119402559076729383noreply@blogger.com
