I've read some other Catherine Murdock books that I really loved, but heard that Princess Ben wasn't that good - do you think it's worth reading? Also, good job with all your reading! It looks really interesting. 94. Princess Ben - Catherine Murdock Fished Scarlet last night.

I really liked Savvy. It reminds somewhat of The Higher Power of Lucky, which won the 2007 Newbery Medal. From Princess Ben by Catherine Murdock:

This is a nice little Sleeping Beauty retelling. Not my favorite fairy tale-retelling ever, but Ben (Benevolence) is a fun ... I just got ahold of Princess Ben by Catherine Murdock. The set-up reminded me a little bit of Dealing with Dragons, but upon reading it, I'm finding it more like Princess Academy by Shannon Hale.
