A Dress To Remember: A Fairy Tale by K.L. SmallMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Princess Zarina is a very selfish princess. She's the 13th child of the King and Queen and is definitely very spoiled as well. Her Royal Advancement is coming up in the next couple of weeks and she is need of a new dress. However, her parents call a family meeting and announce that things will be a bit different for this ceremony.
Princess Zarina decides to take matters in her own hands when it comes to her dress. Afterall, the royal dressmaker will be busy with the Queen and other Princesses' dresses. Zarina's dress MUST be special. Auntie tells her about a dressmaker so one day, Zarina pays her a visit and puts in her order.
The whole world changes when Princess Zarina picks up her dress. It's not at all what she wanted and things just start to fall apart for Princess Zarina and her kingdom. Can they ward off those who've come to destroy their dynasty?
This book reminded me a little bit of the Wizard of Oz. It seems like that kind of fairy tale. I've seen others who've compared this book to Brave and Cinderella. All are fitting. Young readers will love the story and will hopefully learn from Princess Zarina and her mistakes. Watching her grow throughout this story should inspire people who are reading.
This was my first read by this author but I'll be looking for her other works.
