Together Galen and Rose will search for a way to break the curse that forces the princesses to dance at the midnight balls. All they need is one invisibility cloak, a black wool chain knit with enchanted silver needles, and that most critical ingredient of all—true love—to conquer their foes in the dark halls below. But malevolent forces are working against them above ground as well, and as cruel as the King Under Stone has seemed, his wrath is mere irritation compared to the evil that awaits Galen and Rose in the brighter world above. <P></P>Captivating from start to finish, Jessica Day George's take on the Grimms' tale <I>The Twelve Dancing Princesses</I> demonstrates yet again her mastery at spinning something entirely fresh out of a story you thought you knew. 3741438 20 1 2009 Princess of the Midnight Ball total:1411|5:409|4:581|3:349|2:63|1:9| 1411 5551 2958 552 5 5 false false Sat Jan 17 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 11:38:40 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 11:41:17 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 5 false false Sun Mar 29 11:53:16 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 11:56:47 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sat Feb 07 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 21:05:49 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 08 21:17:10 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 12:39:24 -0800 2009 Sat Jan 17 12:39:24 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 5 1 false false Sun Mar 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Mar 11 12:43:23 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 20:33:07 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 3 false false Fri Oct 10 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Aug 06 13:31:43 -0700 2008 Fri Oct 10 13:27:27 -0700 2008 5 1 false false Thu Jan 15 15:02:48 -0800 2009 Thu Jan 15 15:05:12 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 1 false false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Thu Aug 07 15:48:47 -0700 2008 Sat Jan 24 06:51:08 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 1 false false Sat Feb 21 09:51:53 -0800 2009 Sat Feb 21 09:53:58 -0800 2009
