In the land of Five Hundred Kingdoms, if you can't carry out your legendary role, life is no fairy tale… Elena Klovis was supposed to be her kingdom's Cinderella—until an accident of fate left her with a completely inappropriate prince! Determined not to remain with her stepfamily, Elena set out to get a new job—and ended up becoming the Fairy Godmother for the land. But "Breaking with Tradition" was no easy matter. True, she didn't have to sleep in the chimney, but she had to deal with arrogant, stuffed-shirt princes who kept trying to rise above their place in the tale. In fact, one of them was so ornery that Elena could do nothing but change him into a donkey. Still, her practical nature couldn't let him roam the country, so she brought the donkey—er, the prince!—home to her cottage to teach him some lessons. All the while keeping in mind that breaking with tradition can land everyone into a kettle of fish—sometimes literally! And so begins a whole new tale… 16082 1 11 2004 The Fairy Godmother (Five Hundred Kingdoms, #1) total:1764|5:573|4:612|3:415|2:125|1:39| 1764 6847 2393 138 4 2 false false Thu Aug 14 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 21:21:16 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 17 01:58:27 -0700 2008 more...]]> 3 2 false false Wed Feb 20 08:40:08 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 21 19:33:32 -0800 2008 Wed Feb 13 12:03:40 -0800 2008

I've owned it for two months but I hadn't read it because I just wasn't sure about it. But I finished it today and, while it wasn't my favorite, I enjoyed it. It was a good solid book and worth a re-read.
