Nix, Garth Frogkisser! 384
pages. Scholastic, March 2017. Language: G; Mature Content: G; Violence: PG
(danger, some fighting).
Princess Anya’s stepfather is
becoming more evil every single day. Its
only a matter of time before he decides to rid himself of Anya and her sister
Morven, the Queen to be, for good. When
Morven’s latest suitor is turned into a frog by their stepfather, it is Anya
who has to go on a quest to find the elusive ingredients to a lip balm that
will break the spell on any transformed being even without true love’s
kiss.
While you might think E.D.
Baker at first, the similarities are there, but Nix’s work is not as
light. This is more Vivian VandeVelde of
Patricia Wrede stuff.
