About this item

Amazon Editors recommend this book for readers who have recently discovered middle grade novels with more intricate story lines.One should be able to say of a princess "She was as good as she was beautiful," according to The Art of Being a Princess (third revised edition) , which the almost-thirteen-year-old Princess Imogene is supposed to be reading. Not feeling particularly good, or all that beautiful, she heads for a nearby pond, where, unfortunately, a talking frog tricks her into kissing him. No prince appears, as one might expect. Instead, the princess turns into a frog herself! Thus launches a funny, wonderfully spun fractured fairy tale in which Imogene wonders if she will be forever frogified.
