Cute, but average

A lot of reviewers compare this book to Ella Enchanted. While they have the same author, it is not fair to compare this novella to a novel - it is necessarily different. That being said, it is a cute story. Yes, it is a little predictable & the brothers are barf-worthy in their condescension, but it's not a bad read. It is also not the best thing since sliced bread. It is a short, easy read - great for children ...who will probably think it's wonderful. This is the only one of the Princess Tales I have read, but if other reviewers are to be believed, this is the best one. Honestly, that makes me a little sad. If you want a good introduction to Levine, I suggest The Two Princesses of Barmarre or Ella Enchanted over this book, but if you are familiar with her already or just want something short & sweet this may be the story for you.
