4 posts | 7 read | 9 to read
Merrie Haskells middle-grade fantasy novel Princess Curse is an imaginative retelling of the fairy tales The Twelve Dancing Princesses and Beauty and the Beast. In the fifteenth-century kingdom of Sylvania, the prince offers a fabulous reward to anyone who cures the curse that forces the princesses to spend each night dancing to the point of exhaustion. Everyone who tries disappears or falls into an enchanted sleep. Thirteen-year-old Reveka, a smart, courageous herbalists apprentice, decides to attempt to break the curse despite the danger. Unravelling the mystery behind the curse leads Reveka to the Underworld, and to save the princesses, Reveka will have to risk her soul. Princess Curse combines magic, suspense, humor, and adventure into a story perfect for fans of Gail Carson Levine.

What is not to enjoy? A retelling of the twelve dancing princesses set in medieval Romania. Rich with eastern European folklore and early Christian superstitions. And a curse broken by a peasant herbalist. Love ❤️❤️❤️. #FairyTaleReadingChallenge @Charityann

My cat doesn't believe that being a princess can be association with curses. She's a diva cat & queen of her realm (our house), so I suppose she ought to know. In other news, I am LOVING this book by Merrie Haskell! Think "The Blackthorn Key" by Kevin Sands meets "The Girl Who Drank the Moon" by Kelly Barnhill in a twist on the fairy tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. #winner #amreading #middlegradefantasy #fracturedfairytales @HarperCollins
