Every bit as imaginative and unique as the first two books in the series, this volume provides a warm fairy-tale ending for the initial trilogy. (  )readingrat | May 22, 2009 |   Another enjoyable tale of the Frog Princess (though she's no longer a frog so it seems a bit odd to continue to call her that). In this adventure, Emma sets back in time in an attempt to end the curse that has stricken all the women in her family and will continue to strike them through the generations. I didn't feel like the time-travelling aspect of this was gimmicky at all, so that was nice. I did become a bit annoyed with Emma's meddling in past events after being told not to. I really liked the ending of this one - had a twist I wasn't expecting, so that was definitely welcome. The premise for number four doesn't sound as good, but I'll still give it a shot. (  )booksandbosox | Apr 15, 2009 | book 3 in trilogy (1: the frog princess; 2: dragons breath) like the other two very funny, hilarious, quick and easy read ( )vegaheim | Mar 25, 2008 | Emma is now the Green Witch and has many resposiblilties, lime reversing her aunts terrible deeds. As her aunt gets eer nastier, Emma desperatly searches for a cure to the family curse. She travels back in time to meet her ancestors and of course Eadric comes along. They have many adventures in the past, but Emma is always thinking about breaking the curse because she knows that if there is even the slightest shance she might become like Aunt Grassina, she will have to refuse Eadrics proposal. I like this book a lot, and I'm sad to see the end of the series. I thought it was a surprising ending and it had me fooled. Certinatley a great read. ( )snapplechick | Mar 5, 2008 | its an enjoyable read. someone reviewed it saying there are too many references to the previous books, but since i have not read the other books, the cross references were useful to me and made the story understandable. I like it, and quite easy to read, I finished it very quickly. gametes69 | Sep 13, 2007 | 0.110 seconds to build listing  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0439806844, Paperback)Many years before Princess Emma's time, an angry fairy cast a curse on her ancestor, Princess Hazel. The fairy decreed that Hazel and all her female descendants, upon reaching their sixteenth birthdays, could not touch a flower, or else all their youth, beauty, and kindness would be erased. Emma had seen it happen-her grandmother had always been a spiteful witch, and now her favorite aunt, Grassina, has fallen under the spell as well. Though Emma has wonderful new powers as the Green Witch, she has only one week before her own sixteenth birthday, and with it comes the threat of the family curse. No one before her has been powerful enough to find the fairy responsible, or to reverse the curse, but Emma is determined-and with the help of Eadric, her favorite bat, Li'l and some ancestors she has only just met, she may be able to outsmart an adversary she thought she'd left behind long ago.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:05 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
