Johnny lives a humble life repairing shoes at a resort. Then one day a real life princess comes to him asking for help saving her brother who has been turned into a frog. In exchange, she'll marry him. He initially thinks she's crazy, but when the cloak she gives him transports him to another place, he starts taking a closer look at what's going on around him. It turns out magic has been right in front of him all along. On the way to rescue the frog prince, he helps some swans and a fox who were also former humans.
Alex Flinn has done it again. She has a knack for taking classic fairy tales and putting them in a modern, entertaining setting. The nice thing about this book is that she chose some more obscure fairy tales that might not be familiar to the reader. My only criticism is that she tries to mix so many stories together that the plot doesn't always flow. But, overall, it gives everything I want in a YA fantasy: humor, a valuable life lesson and a happy ending.
