Reviews

Cinderellis and the Glass Hill is fairly unique in offering a male protagonist. Readers will love the clever but lonely Ellis, who only wants his brothers to like him and to invent things that will make the kingdom a better place. Princess Marigold is equally charming and ingenious, and is also lonely because her father is always riding off on ridiculous quests for magical souvenirs. The strength of this book lies strongly on the characters, including a cat name Apricot and some beautiful horses. This will definitely be a favorite among animal lovers. It also includes all the imagination and wit found in the previous Princess Tales and is overall a delightful read.
