Fourth grade granddaughter loves this book

My fourth grade granddaughter has been looking for this book for over a year since she had to turn it back into the library and was not able to ever find it again. We found it and I've helped her forget about it so that I could give it to her for her birthday in two weeks. She will be so excited!

One of the awesomest books ever. This series is currently my go-to buy for girls aged 7-12. My daughter (9 years old) and I both love it and my husband & son (age 12) have been known to quote it as well.

I love this series

I love this series. This is the second, taking on the story of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. It's laugh out loud funny, with great illos and dialogue that begs to be read aloud.
