Reviews

`Kate Evans's brilliant new book is filled with creepy kissy princes and tough little girls. She's turned fairy tales on their heads, bringing us better stories of long long ago and far far away. For girls who aspire to more than finding their happiness in a prince.' Henny Beaumont, author of Hole in the Heart; `I LOVE this book! Funny, engaging and beautiful... A book to help our daughters become the strong independent women of the future.' Rachael Ball, author of Wolf;
