A knight’s botched fight with a frog leads to an ordeal with a frog of a different sort in E.B. Roshan’s The Frog Knight.

After the appearance of a large frog nearby, the queen tasks a few of her knights to go and fight it off to protect her people from any harm. An overeager knight, Sir Fergus, rushes in, leaving his fellow knights behind, and botches his attempted fight before fleeing from the frog; however, upon his return, he falsely boasts of his success, after which the queen turns him into a frog as a punishment. In order to be restored to his original form, he needs to find someone who will keep their word. While transformed, he makes a deal with Blinn that she’ll take him with her to the midsummer festival after having returned her sister’s ball from the pond’s depths where he’s been residing. Despite being mocked by others at the festival, Blinn keeps her promise to Sir Fergus, and the queen appears before the two, ushering in a pleasant surprise.
In a cute, light, and humorous rendition of The Princess and the Frog, the story’s moral is clearly presented and reiterated through simple language that’s accessible to all readers, but especially young children, who’d be the primary audience for the tale. The graphic novel format offers art that is richly colored and distinctive in style, offering a visual component to the narrative to complement the linguistic one. The narrative is quick to read and progresses swiftly through events, helping to keep the reader engaged and entertained, especially for those who may have shorter attention spans.

I LOVE fairy tales retellings of all kinds thanks to Disney and Melanie Dickerson since I was a teen. This one is no different. I loved it, enjoyed it. It's a delightful little tale, I wouldn't mind another installment like it. Hopefully, it's one of my new favourite fairy tale retellings.
I especially love the twist on the original tale. There's no witch, but a gaint frog! There's no prince, but a knight. There's no princess, but a noble common girl and her younger sister. There's no king, but a knight and father to the two daughters. This premise is so unique, but it still references the main elements of the original. The knight gets turned into a frog, there's a golden ball lost in a pond, keeping your word... I don't know if I remember correctly, but The Frog Prince seemed to be criticizing the princess and her attitude and not the frog prince for his attitude. I love how it's the opposite in this story. He gets transformed to learn a lesson, making it clear to the audience of what's right and what's wrong. I honestly not sure about the point of The Frog Prince and the values it's trying to teach when I think The Frog Prince should be criticized for his behaviour too. Maybe that's just me.
I love the characters, I love the settings, I love the theme, I love the storyline. I love it all.
I hope they live happily ever after. <3 ;)
Note: I quickly listened to The Frog Prince to fact check my statements.
P.S. I apologise to the author for taking so long to write this review after receiving an ARC from her. Life got the better of me, but it's still not an excuse if I agreed to it and for the fact that I forgot about it for a good while and didn't make sure I remember when I could do it, oops.
If you love The Frog Prince, fairy tale retellings, and wished for a comic version of said retellings, then I highly recommend this one for you!

I always enjoy reading E.B. Roshan's comics, but seeing that this story is a retelling of The Frog Prince, I was even more excited than usual!
Sir Fergus begs the queen to allow him a chance to fight a giant frog in the kingdom. He hopes for a chance to prove himself, but instead, ends up running away. He tries to cover up what really happened with the frog, but the queen is wise to him. As a punishment for not coming to her with the truth, she turns him into a frog.
I enjoyed this one so much! I love a good tale of character growth, and overall, the story was very sweet. This also felt unique compared to the author's other comics, which tend to have an element of sci-fi. It was a fun change of pace.
A huge thanks to the author for sending me a free digital ARC of the book to read and review!

**I received a digital copy of this graphic novel early from the author in exchange for an honest review - all thoughts are my own**
This is a charming little graphic novel and I think for younger audiences (or huge graphic novel fans) this would be a hit. Ultimately I think I am the wrong audience which did mean I neither loved or hated this. It is charming, it is bright and colourful, it's a nice short Princess & the Frog retelling. But unfortunately the art style just wasn't for me. I do wish the best for this author though, would be a great little book to add to a library or school setting.

The Frog Knight is a graphic novel and retelling of The Princess and the Frog. The story follows Sir Fergus, who is tasked with facing a giant frog alone. The story is entertaining for kids and adults alike, and the art style with the colorful images is great. The graphic novel also has wonderful messages of keeping promises, telling the truth, and the importance of working with others.
Thank you to the author for sending this book for review.

The Frog Night is a fun comic retelling the Princess and the Frog. The author did an excellent job of portraying lessons of keeping one’s promises and not letting your pride overcome you in an exciting graphic story, while still making the book enjoyable.

The Frog Knight by E. B. Roshan is a graphic novel and retelling of the Princess and the Frog. Although I don’t usually read graphic novels, I thought it was humorous and engaging, showing the expanse of this writer’s talent.
I received a complimentary copy of this novel from the author. The opinions expressed are completely my own.

I love that this came in full color! This may be my favorite graphic novel by the author so far :)
It's a fun little twist on The Frog Prince, and I like how it deals with themes of pride and truth. Plus, Blinn may be my favorite character now ;) Definitely a fun story for kids to read.

A massive thank you to Roshan for sending me an ARC of The Frog Prince.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Every time Roshan reaches out with a new ARC for me to read, it makes my day. I enjoy her graphic novels so much. This one is, to no surprise, another super fun read.
We're following a kingdom that's facing the threat of a large frog. When a knight tries to defeat it and lies about what happened, he is turned into a frog until he can prove himself.
It's a quick read. The art is such a delight. The story moves at a perfect pace. I highly recommend this one!

3 stars. I didn't expect this to contain magic (not realizing it was a retelling of The Princess & the Frog), so that took me by surprise, but I really liked the message and the storyline. B. was fantastic and I really appreciated the knight's humility at the end.
