Synopsis
A girl gets into a mouthful of trouble in this "toadally" fractured fairy tale, from the author of the Mother-Daughter Book Club series.
Once upon a time, Cat Starr lived with her astronaut mom in Houston. But when her mother gets sent on a long-term mission, Cat has to move to a faraway land--her dad's house, halfway across the country--and share a room with her real-life evil stepsister, Olivia. Just when Cat can't take it anymore, Great Aunt Abyssinia comes to the rescue. And things go from bad to cursed. The next morning, Cat opens her mouth and a toad hops out! What's more, when Olivia speaks, diamonds and flowers appear. How unfair is that? Before you can say "happily ever after," the girls are on the run from jewel thieves and a government agency. Can Cat save the day--and get rid of all those toads? This is an enchanting fractured fairy tale from acclaimed Mother-Daughter Book Club author Heather Vogel Frederick."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review
"In this enjoyable twist on a Charles Perrault fairy tale . . . Frederick keeps readers entertained with an action-packed, zany plot and an even wackier cast."
--"The Horn Book Magazine"
"For fans of fantasy and fairy tales, this is a gem."-"School Library Journal"
"Recommended for fans of pure wackiness."
---Booklist
"Fans of Frederick's "The Mother-Daughter Book Club" should thoroughly enjoy this modern version of an old fairy tale."
--"Library Media Connection"
"A light-hearted read, sure to entertain no matter what your taste--flowery or toad-ally gross."--Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan
