Rendition Concering Books The Thirteenth Princess (Fairy Tale Princesses)

Zita is not an ordinary servant girl—she's the thirteenth daughter of a king who wanted only sons. When she was born, Zita's father banished her to the servants' quarters to work in the kitchens, where she can only communicate with her royal sisters in secret.

Then, after Zita's twelfth birthday, the princesses all fall mysteriously ill. The only clue is their strangely worn and tattered shoes. With the help of her friends—Breckin the stable boy, Babette the witch, and Milek the soldier—Zita follows her bewitched sisters into a magical world of endless dancing and dreams. But something more sinister is afoot—and unless Zita and her friends can break the curse, the twelve princesses will surely dance to their deaths.

A classic fairy tale with a bold twist, The Thirteenth Princess tells the unforgettable story of a magical castle, true love, spellbound princesses—and the young girl determined to save them all.

Critique Based On Books The Thirteenth Princess (Fairy Tale Princesses)

I just love a good, sweet, clean fairy tale retelling. This was the 12 dancing princesses retold with a couple other elements of other fairy tales. What I loved most about this story was the main character Zita. She was sweet and strong and carried the story well. I loved the description of the castle and the mold and dampness. This was a fun quick read for girls 10 and up.Re-read 7-2014 Read to my girls 16 to 5. The 5 year old had a hard time and the 8 year old needed some explanation but

2.5 stars I could hardly take this in, it was so strange and wondrous. I was a princess! Zita spent most of her life believing she was a serving girl, only to discover that she is the thirteenth princess.Her mother died in labor and her father, enraged by the lack of sons and sidelined by the grief, forbade Zita from being raised as a princess. But once Zita found out, her twelve older sisters (each with a name beginning with A) embrace her as much as they can, away from their father's stern

I have always thought that: A book read once is an acquaintance, a book read twice becomes a friend; but, a book read three or more times, becomes a member of the family!This is actually my second time reading this book, and I enjoyed it even more this time. If I could give it six stars, I would.I have always loved the story of the Twelve Dancing Princesses and marveled at how well they dance as I literally have two left feet. I enjoyed the idea of a thirteenth princess.The story of how her

This was a terrible book. The characters and plot were shallow, superficial, and cliched. And, that was not the real problem with the book. It is the worst type of story, pretending to be girl power but then being the exact opposite. What do I mean?>apparently, sons are the only children worth having>girls only purpose is to look pretty and learn only those skills that will be useful in capturing a husband>girls only role is to catch a husband>girls must diminish their own talents

A second-rate knock-off of Shannon Hale (The Goose Girl), who in turn is no Robin McKinley. So much about this was just wrong - as with a lot of these kinds of thing, it attempts to be some kind of "historical" fiction (apparently just for the raiment), but there is no real sense of time or place. There are no guns, no cars, no steam, but it mentions the "icebox" and there's a "dumbwaiter" (both are more mid-1800s than medieval). There is mention of patron saints (which sounds like Catholicism),

This was a really cute version of the story of the twelve princesses. A version where their younger thirteenth sister needs to help save them. A quick read well worth it.
