I picked this book up last year, expecting to be blown away by Levine (writer of Newberry award winning Ella Enchanted), but, quite frankly, I was responded to with a lame story line. I was quite dissapointed- I loved Levine's other books. This book is about a girl who gets into trouble all the time and she "tries" to help but she "can't". That's basically it.

One of the best books in the world. I bought this at the Scholastic Book Fair in SSC when I was in grade 6.. family day I think and I let my friends who are not book lovers read this book and they all started to love reading books. A simple yet notable story of a girl who was left by her dad and later on became a princess.. love it <3

i really liked this book!!!! it is about a prince who wants a princess, but to become the princess, a girl has to take a series of tests. but the prince falls in love with a blacksmith's daughter and needs to have her pass the tests. it is very short, but a nice story and anyone who likes modern fairy tales would love this book.

This is a fun version of the Princess and the Pea. I love how the author makes her fairy tale versions so quirky. It is also a very quick read (at only 100 or so pages). Good for medium age readers.

All of these short books (around 80 to 100 pages) are really delightful. I recently began reading them to my 8 year old daughter. She loves them too. There are 7 stories in all. Read them ALL

A simple, small book, but one that just goes to prove that Levine is a great author. Still very interesting and sweet and a great twist on an old fairy tale.

Silly fractured fairytale of the Princess and the pea. Fun, fast to read, and has quirky little details to liven it.

I like rewritten fairy tales, and Levine's approach to this one was clever and fun.
