Jenny's a normal girl having a normal day on a normal school bus. Then she closes her eyes and wakes up in a...carriage. In a strange land. Where she is adopted by the king and named a princess.But she isn't just any princess. She's the seventh princess of a line of five other adopted princesses who were turned into harpies by an evil witch. If she doesn't want the same thing to happen to her, she's gotta do something about it.This was my favorite book in the fourth grade. A definite keeper, which I still remember almost a decade later. A girl can really relate to Jenny's predicament, can really believe that maybe she herself could be in Jenny's place. As for the adventure...unbelievable. The only strange part was the simpleness of the counterspell--it was a little weak for me. Still, it's all part of the fantasy.Magic, switch from the normal world into the magical world, hapries, spells, witches, royalty, and good old fashioned school buses.A great, great book.

Dream Come True

I remember my 3rd grade teacher having this book in her room and i read it on a field trip we took that year. I fell in love with the book, but didn't think much of it until a feew years later when i tried too find it to read it again. It was impossible to locate and i remeber vividly even to this day Jenny's story. I've kept it with me so long, trying to find another copy of this book, but rather than out of print it seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. It's a heartwarming story that touches in you that special place where all the love of fantasy from your youth is. who knows maybe one day i will wake up on a bus and hold in my hands a copy of the seventh princess. that would be one of the best dreams come true i could ever name...

For so many of us, it has been so long...

I remember picking this book up off the shelf when I was in fourth grade... that was a long time ago. Back then, I chose to read books by what their covers looked like. I know, don't judge a book by its cover, but when you read so much all the time, you start to be able to tell which are going to be the really good ones by what is on them. So, I picked this book up for some free reading, and it has taken me all these years to find it again. Unfortuantely, as some have pointed out, it is out of print. I really think that this is one of the best books that I had read when I was in elementary school. The entirety of it made a young girl's dream on the way to school come true. It is really powerful and timeless, a true work of art for minds of all ages. I just wish that I could find a copy of it...

Wow! I finally found it!

I've been trying to find this book for almost ten years. Ever since I read it in second grade, I've been hooked on Fantasy and Science Fiction Books, and I have this book to thank for it. I don't even remember it that much but I just know that it got my mind engaged in a different world. I wanted to be part of that world. Anyways, I even wanted my second grade teacher to make it required reading for the entire class. Now I wish that I had asked her if I could keep it.
