The Princess of the Midnight Ball, by Jessica Day George

age group: 12 and up, although I'm sure 11-yr-olds will enjoy it.
rating: 7 out of 10

Yay! Another fantasy! This one, too, is based on an old fairy-tale: The 12 Dancing Princesses. It's about twelve princesses cursed to dance for the evil King Understone due to a deal their mother made to give birth to them. There's also a handsome and clever solider involved. I give it a seven because the writing is good, but the ending is rather predictable (especially if you've read the picture book). I wasn't jumping up and down at the end, but I was satisfied.
