Our Review

This enchanting fantasy series introduces young readers to Princess Emeralda, who accidentally turns her prince into a frog in a magical mishap that launches their extraordinary adventures. The collection weaves together classic fairy tale elements with fresh twists, creating a world where spells go wonderfully wrong and dragons breathe more than just fire. Middle-grade readers will delight in the humorous take on traditional princess tropes and the charming "Shrek"-like vibe that makes these stories feel both familiar and excitingly new. Each chapter book builds upon the last, creating a satisfying narrative arc that keeps children eagerly turning pages.

What makes these fantasy adventures particularly engaging is how they balance lighthearted humor with genuine character development, as Emeralda grows from an uncertain princess into a confident heroine across the three books. Children who enjoy magical transformations, talking animals, and clever twists on familiar stories will find themselves completely absorbed in Baker's brilliantly created world of magic and mayhem. The box set format makes this an ideal introduction to series reading for young fantasy enthusiasts ready to dive into longer chapter books. These imaginative tales will leave readers believing in the possibility of magic around every corner.
