Familiar Princesses with a twist!

This was an awesome book. Like most people, i wish Ella was brunette. I guess disney made her blonde in the movie. My favorite character is Rose, though. They didn't have a whole ton of her. I've read the first three books, but I've started the fourth. When i picked it up, i though i was too old to read it, but i was wrong. It's great for all ages!

The Best One

I've read every book in the series and am impatient for 'Thorn in Her Side'. This one is my favourite because Rapunzel's my favourite out of the four girls, and it has a lot of Val/Rapunzel moments. :-)

Awesome

I am 9 (about to turn 10).I bought this book at a book fair at school. Mainly because I was out of money. I never knew it would be this awesome and I would read it over so many times. I am going for the rest of the series. If you are buying a book for a child I think this book would be a wonderful choice.

How fun!!

My daughter (age 7) and I had so much fun reading this story of snow white, cinderella, sleeping beauty and rapunzel- the girls rocked! They fought back, had bad hair days, dealt with sorta normal issues and felt insecure, grumpy, and scared. Just like us! They fought hard, rose above the issues and became happy. That's the stuff!

What a fun story of girls with great hearts!

Okay, I'm nowhere NEAR being a teen anymore, but when I was one I thought princesses were wimps. Since then I've come to believe there's more to them than Grimm's fairy tales let on, and these authors think so too! If the Shoe Fits was a delightful story of friendship in the tradition of Into the Woods -- where they all share the same world -- and slightly reminiscent of Harry Potter's school adventures as well. I laughed out loud at the dreadful danger of peas...! It's well-written, funny and sharp with lovable and interesting characters.I reccomend this book to anyone who loves princess stories and believes in friendship. I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
