PRINCESS OF THE MIDNIGHT BALL, by Jessica Day George

Princess The story: Rose and her eleven younger sisters are doomed to spend their nights dancing in the palace of the evil King Under Stone unless someone can free them from the spell. No one expects that a common soldier will be able to do it--but after all the "available" princes try, and end up dead, there's no one else to take on the task. Will Galen be able to outfox the King and win the hand of Princess Rose? Jessica Day George takes on a famous fairy tale and gives it new life in "Princess of the Midnight Ball."

June Cleaver's book review: Language G; Nudity, G; Sexual Content G; Substance Abuse PG (wine is commonly mentioned); violence PG-13 (the evil king get killed); GLBT content G; Magic & the occult PG-13, Adult Themes: G. Overall rating: PG.

 
Liz's comments: I really enjoyed this book, which is proof that you don't have to have a lot of violence or sexual content to make a good story. It is, however, a book that will appeal pretty much to tweens and middle school girls only...but that's not a bad audience.
