Frogged - by Vivian Vande Velde (2013)

Frogged is a very silly book (even the chapter names are silly!). It's about a princess who, one day by a stream, meets a frog who insists he is a prince put under a spell (yes, he can talk). So the princess kisses him - and suddenly, he's a person, but she's a frog! Worse still, he wasn't even a prince at all!

Princess Imogene (yes, that's her name) decides to look for a person to kiss her in turn, but instead gets carried off by a boy and girl who have plans of their own. Princess Imogene must find a way to get un-frogged. But how?

I really liked Frogged. It was a wonderful, funny book, and I recommend it to readers.

When Tuesday Mcgillycuddy and her dog Baxterr discover that Serendipity Smith, a famous author (and Tuesday's mother!) has gone missing, they decide to look for her. Tuesday starts typing on her mother's typewriter, and she and Baxterr are magically transported to the land where stories come from - and specifically into the world where all her mother's stories come from. They find themselves in a world of magic, fairies, pirates, ships and, at last - with a very happy ending.

I liked this book because it was kind of about writing a book (I love to write), and its story was great. I read all 280 pages of it in two days it was so good! I highly recommend Finding Serendipity to readers.
