Meet Prince Charming, or should we say, all the Princes Charming? Meet Liam, Gustav, Frederick and Duncan, princes from several fairy tales that in the stories are only known as "Prince Charming." Each of them have different issues, from having to walk in the shadow of 16 older brothers to hating the princess he rescued. None of them have gotten to live his "happily ever after."
Then more things start going wrong. Briar Rose is a brat, Ella runs away, and even sweet Snow White tells her prince to go away. The princes are captured by giants, chased by dragons, and even have trolls sitting on them! Can they really work together to defeat the evil witch and save all of their kingdoms?
I laughed, and laughed and laughed some more. Oh my goodness this books is funny! I would so highly recommend this book to anyone! While the length may seem a little intimidating for younger kids, the story moves very fast, plus there is a lot of small illustrations in the book that speed it along even more. I had a hard time putting it down when it was time to go to bed!
Overall, great book to recommend to lots of kids. Funny, fast paced, and has enough variety in the characters to appeal to both boys and girls. Pick it up today!
