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.

Finding Serendipity - by Angelica Banks (2015)

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.

    Book Reviews By & For Kids

    Everyone knows that Rapunzel spent her early years locked up in a tower. We’d like to think she had plenty of books to while away the time, and that she’d appreciate our own favorites.

    Founded in 2014, our reviews focus on great books for middle grade (MG) readers. Beginning in 2018, we began adding selected Young Adult (YA) books as well, but only if we really love them and think Rapunzel Reads followers will too. Favorite picture books have their own page.
