Book: The Unhandsome Prince by John Moore
Age-range: 13 and up
Recommended: Yes
This was a charming fairy tale (and written by a man, not many of those). It combined so many different stories, The Frog Prince, Rapunzel, Rumpelstiltskin, and maybe others that I can't think of right now. It's the story of Prince Hal, an unhandsome prince who is rescued from being a frog by a beautiful girl named Caroline. Caroline, however, is not super-excited about marrying a prince who isn't handsome and won't actually inherit the throne. Emily, who's mother cast the frog spell, is now responsible for making her mother's promises come true.
That's just the very beginning premise. As time moves on and events happen, more characters are introduced and a larger story comes in. It's fairly predictable, but funny and fast-paced. I will definitely look for his other books the next time I go to the library.
