Summary: Great book for all ages
Comment: I love all original fairy tales, and this one is great! It is cute, with a spunky heroine, who is not perfect in either body or personality, but is for the most part a good person. It also has some traditional fairy tale themes such as a fairy godmother and a handsome prince. All in all this is a good book to read for any girl who thinks she sould be more beautiful.
The third princess is always the most beautiful, with two lovely, but mean sisters, and must over come many obsiticals to marry prince charming and find true love. But what happens when the third princess is not beautiful, or even atractive. Princess Rose faces this delema, although she didn't even think of it as so before the amazing Prince Parseley comes looking for a beautiful wife. With out thinking of the consecuances Rose wishes to be the most beautiful princess ever, and she gets her wish. Is this Rose's destiny to marry prince Parseley, or to stay the nice, but plain Rose.

Summary: A cute and darlingly mixed-up fairy tale
Comment: I put off reading this book for a few days in order to read other titles that appeared more appealing. I was wrong. Within the first few pages, I found myself laughing and hating to put the book down to finish my work. I couldn't wait to have the chance to sit down and finish it. Yes, it is a twisted fairy tale with the cliche of an ugly princess, but there the comparisons end. Gray has managed to write her material fresh, silly, and downright funny. Rose is a third princess with buck teeth and awful hair. Her older sisters, Concrete and Asphalt, have to wait for hours each day while their hair is groomed and maintained to perfection. They don't mind since their younger sister's ugliness has not required them to fly off and become wicked, bitter ugly witches! Rose's adventures and lessons learned about wishes and beauty are obvious, but still entertaining, so readers won't mind getting a message with their fun. This would be a cute book for a classroom read aloud or for any girl looking for a new fairy tale chapter book.
Also recommended are: The Ordinary Princess by M. M. Kaye and the fairy tale books of Gail Carson Levine

Summary: An Exciting Fairytale For All Ages!!!!!!!!!
Comment: Usually princesses are beautiful....but not in this fairytale!!Instead, Rose has buckteeth, and short, stringy hair-hardly what you would expect a princess to look like.You won't be able to put down this book-or rather chestprotecter-Rose is much smarter than your usual beautiful fairytale princess.But when Prince Parsley visits Couscous to find a bride, everything changes and Eleanor(Rose's fairygodmother)turns Rose into the most beautiful princess ever!Choose between a Test and a Quest to turn Rose back to normal.You'll meet characters like Jasper, a Wiseman pretending to be a Fool, just to save Couscous from ignorance!In the story you'll meet characters beyond your imagination!You'll love this book more than any other book you've read in your life!
