Princess of the Midnight Ball

Here's a book I really like. It's called Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George. This is such a great book with romance, adventure, and a neat twist on the twelve dancing princesses. Here's the back:

"Returning home from the war, young Galen finds work with his mother’s family in the royal gardens. There he learns that the king’s twelve daughters have a secret: every night they dance their shoes to tatters, but no one knows how or why. When prince after prince tries and fails to find the answer, and the family is haunted by accusations of witchcraft, Galen decides to help. Armed with a pair of silver knitting needles and an invisibility cloak given to him by a strange old woman, he follows the princesses and unlocks the secret of their curse."

  1. That's really cool! The Twelve Dancing Princesses is kind of a lesser known fairytale but there was a Barbie movie made out of it, right? Anyway, I think that I will read this because it sounds like it has a cool story line.

  2. Yep! Barbie and the Twelve Dancing Princesses! It's really good, I loved this. It was a nice spin off and the sequel is maybe even better!
