Princess Gardener | Michael Strelow

2 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

The Princess Gardener is the story of a young girl who is a princess by accident of birth. Her passion lies outside the castle, tending the gardens. But castle duties call more and more often, and her parents insist she learn what she calls "the princess business." Reluctantly, she curtseys and bows and smiles her way through the empty rituals of the kingdom, but every day she longs for the smell of the earth. A chance encounter causes the princess to switch lives with a young farm girl, who is her exact likeness. When people begin to fall ill, the girls learn that the source of the sickness is covered-up pollution in the water supply. Will they discover their true capabilities and save the kingdom, or are the girls' lives about to become very complicated?

so-so

⭐️⭐️⭐️ A cute story fairytale-like fashion that middle-school readers would enjoy. Eugenie and Alyssa are clever girls and use their wit to overcome obstacles while keeping their true identities safe. The book is short and told at a quick pace, which at times forces details to go unattended giving the story a slightly "glossed over' feel. #NetGalley #ThePrincessGardener

Starting my next #NetGalley #ARC about a princess who‘d rather be a gardener.

KarynGood Oh, nice premise! Enjoy! 7y

RaimeyGallant Do you know if there are chapter excerpts on Net Galley, so I can read a few pages before I throw my name in the hat? I'm trying to decide whether to sign up for one of these arc programs. 7y

Chelleo @RaimeyGallant i‘m pretty sure there are excepts you can read. It does get archived tomorrow so you would have to download it immediately. 7y
