Once Upon a Curse (Tales of the Frog Princess) Review
Many years ago a slighted fairy placed a curse on a beautiful young princess--a curse that caused her and all her female descendants to turn into mean, ugly witches if they ever touched a flower after turning sixteen. Now, Princess Emma, who is about to turn sixteen herself, is determined to break the spell once and for all. Emma travels back in time to the day the curse was placed on her ancestor in the hope of preventing the curse from being cast. Unfortunately she isn't successful in her efforts, but she does learn how to break it. Armed with this knowledge, Emma returns to her own time full of hope. But disaster ensues and Emma is about to give up completely--until true love shows itself in the most unexpected place of all. With a bit of courage, a pinch of luck, and of course, a healthy dose of magic, Princess Emma charms her way through the third hilarious adventure in the Tales of the Frog Princess series. User Submitted Once Upon a Curse (Tales of the Frog Princess) ReviewsApril 22, 2008 Such A Good Book!!! Once Upon A Curse is a book that every book lover should read (after you've read The Frog Princess and Dragon's Breath of course)... It has time travel, fairys, dragons, harpies, and other magical creatures too. Captivating with kind and snotty ancestors that Princess Emma meets when she's trying to solve the family curse's mysteries... along with Eadric, Lil, and some magic she's bound for a journey no one's gone on before! August 9, 2007 Excellent children's story We bought the Frog Princess from a school bookfair. I've been reading it to my 8 year old daughter. We both enjoyed the book so much, I bought the next two in the series on Amazon. These are wonderfully funny, engaging stories. This is a children's auther I would highly recommend. June 5, 2007 Romance at Heart Ilove the romance in this book.Emma and Eadric are very funny characters.I love the magic in this book. I hope to keep reading the series! May 14, 2007 super book This book is just one of the wonderful books in this series. An absolute family treasure and fun for the whole family. May 6, 2007 Engaging read This was a fun book that has been passed around in family. I read it first and then passed it to my 13 yr. old daughter who then passed it to my 10 yr. old daughter. We've all laughed with delight at some of the exploits our "heroes" manage to involve themselves in. A must read! Grab the whole series while you're at it! April 8, 2007 Once upon a curse After an adventure of being a frog with Prince Eadric in the "Frog Princess" and finding a cure for turning Haywood back into human form in "Dragon's Breath", Princess Emma must now travel back in time to try and stop the family curse from being placed; or at least find out how to end it. Emma knows she must end the curse before she turns 16 and marries Eadric because it's ruining her family member's lives and will shadow her and Eadric when they get married. The curse has already taken its toll on her grandma and beloved Aunt Grassina, turning them into ugly old hags because they were in contact with a flower. Emma manages to travel back in time with Eadric and survive up until the party, which is where and when the curse is placed. She fails to stop the curse from being placed, but manages to find out how to break it. When she goes back to the future in her own time, she's certain she knows the surest way of breaking the spell, but disaster strikes that discourages her. But finally love conquers evil unsuspectedly... I loved this charming book because it shows courage, love, and determination in the inner self. November 19, 2006 Exciting and Adventerous Book If you are looking for a book jam-packed with suspense and adventures, this is definitly the right book for you. There was so much suspense, sometimes I would skip pages. Even though the book fills you in on most of the stuff in Frog Princess and Dragon's Breath, I still recommend reading the first two books as well. September 10, 2006 Perfect I can't get enough of Emma and Eadric, and I'm almost dissapointed that it'll be another 48 hours before I can get to a bookstore to buy the fourth book. You could say this book is more of the same things from the other two, but it's still amazingly successful. Eadric is charming and exasperating (like most teenage boys), Emma is wise but clumsy (like most teenage girls), and everyone is just so well done and out of the ordinary. This series turns fairy tales on their head in a perfect way. An absolute must read for anybody that likes fairy tales, at any age. August 1, 2006 Read It! Please... you don't need to look at reviews to know how great this book will be! If you read the first two I'm sure you're sold! It is a personal FAVORITE! I CANNOT wait for the next one! READ IT!:) June 11, 2006 The Best Book I think that was the best book I have ever read.When I first Started reading it,I caught right in with the characters.I hope he writes about Emma and Eadric getting married.
