Customer Reviews

I really loved this!

I loved these books as a kid, and reading them again I can see why! This was so cute and funny and wholesome, but also action-packed and pretty smart!! I love Eadric, he’s a really well done blend of smart mouth and a good, patient friend. Emma is clever, if a bit naive, and makes friends wherever she goes!

sweet, funny and romantic!

this book is great for girls that are looking for a sweet light romance. my favorite thing was Eadrics habit i wont tell you what it is. i loved it!

Good!

This book was really good! I am 10 1/2 and I loved it and couldn't put it down until I was finished. I just bought more books from this author. I recommend it!

Magical Adventure

This book is a great book to read if you like suspense, comedy, fantasy, fairy tales, and romance. I was glad that there was going to be a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and in August there is going to be a 5th one in this series. I liked this book so much that the next day i just had to go and buy the 2nd and 3rd one. That is unusual for me because I don't even like to read. It is about a girl who doesn't want to marry this man named Prince Jorge so she runs away and so she goes to this swamp. When she is there she runs along a frog who then asks her to kiss him. She does, but then something goes wrong. She turns into a frog instead of him turning into a prince! You will have to read this book to find out how they fix the mistake.

A frogging fabulous read!

If you like fairy tales, and you have a sense of humour, then I've no doubt you will love this book just as much as I did. Once I started reading this, I just couldn't put it down. It's got the whole shebang: romance, humour, adventure, magic, witches both good and bad, fickle faeries, awesome dragons, and even a bat with agoraphobia. This is an imaginative retake on the old Frog Prince story. By a strange twist of magic, when the Princess goes to kiss the frog--POOF!--she is also turned into a frog. From then on, the Frog Prince and Princess have to fight to survive in a less than frog-friendly world, and try to regain their former human selves. The characters in this are adorable. Princess Emma is hardly your steroetypical princess. She's clumsy and awkward and headstrong, far more at home in the swamp than she was in her castle. Prince Eadric, the frog she kisses, is also far from being a typical prince. He has a healthy sense of witty sarcasm, and an even healthier appetite for food. He's also spent so long asking princesses to kiss him that he's become a little set in his ways, and never gives up asking Emma for a smooch. But he's got a good heart to match those amorous wiles, and courage to spare. This is a fast paced book that is so good, you'll be sad when it's over. I can't wait to read the sequels...

A Princess with a purpose

E.D. Baker's novel, "The Frog Princess" is a magical story revolving around a clumsy fourteen-year-old princess who finds herself getting talked into kissing a seemingly mischievious frog named Eadric, who "claims" he is a prince. After accidentally being turned into a frog herself, Princess Emma and Eadric are forced to go on a long, tedius although hilarious journey to retrieve their normally human forms--but they get into trouble on the way. Princess Emma has her own worries at the palace, however, and isn't sure whether she's just about ready to face those problems--that is, if she ever turns back into a princess! She also is fascinated with her aunt (who is a witch), and wishes to succeed in performing at least ONE spell without making a complete mess of it all. There is light romance, much humor, and a fantastically original plot outlined with E.D. Baker's wonderfully witty and well-written style. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in an incredible fairy-tale that is targetting teen readers.

A great reveiw for a great book

When Princess Emma finds out that her least favorite prince is coming she heads out to the swamp and she meets an obnoxious little frog that can talk. When the frog finds out that Emma is a princess he asks a favor, a kiss. When Emma heads back to the castle she finds ot that she has to marry Prince Jorge. The next day she returns to the swamp and tells the frog (Prince Eadric) that she has to marry Prince Jorge. Since she has nothing to lose she kisses Eadric. I really like this book and I hope you like it as much as I did. This book is adventurous, funny, and shocking. So what are you waiting for?!
