Enchanted
It isn't easy being the
rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the
other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories,
although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.
When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.
The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past - and hers?

This was a fun fairy tale mashup - Frog Prince, Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, the Golden Goose, with references to Rapunzel and Rumpelstiltskin. And probably others. I loved the sisters, expected the instalove (it IS a fairy tale), and enjoyed the book a ton. And even though the story ended well I also feel that there is SO MUCH more she can give us. I want to know about Jack and Monday and all the other sister's stories. I look forward to the next book!
Mom note: As
a mother of readers, I also
want to make a note to myself (and others if they care) why I would or
would not have my children read this book, because honestly, sometimes I
forget. This is a YA book, so everything is within YA strictures.
Violence: mild; Profanity: none; Sex: mild
