Book Review
Review by Christina Hoosier
The Ordinary Princess
by M. M. Kaye
Published by Simon & Schuster,
Inc.
 | This book can be bought in paperback. |
| This book would be appropriate for grades 4
through 7. |
| This book is about Amy, a princess who is not
like any other princess. Other princesses have gold hair, blue eyes, and
perfect complexions, but Amy has brown hair, gray eyes, and freckles. People
marry her older sisters, but no one wants Amy. She finally runs away and
becomes a kitchen maid in the neighboring kingdom. And there she meets
Peregrine, who is really the king of that country, and they fall in love.
She returns home, and Peregrine asks for her hand in marriage. |
| I would recommend this book to any one that
enjoyed fairy tales. It was enjoyable to me because people are not drop dead
gorgeous, and it puts a different twist on the traditional thoughts of
princesses. There was nothing objectionable in this book to my mind. There
was a little magic, so people who do not like that, should avoid this book.
In my estimation, this is an excellent book. |
