Book Review: The Frog Princess
Summary: 5 Stars
This story is about a fourteen year old girl named Emeralda,she is no ordinary princess,her laugh is like the sound of a donkey braying,and couldn't be anymore clumsy. For a while she thought the swamp was a magical place where new lives arose and old ones ended. Although she had believed this for most of her life she had no proof until Snobby Prince Jorge came to visit,and she met the frog of her dreams. She had came to the swamp to avoid the conceited prince and go to the magical land. When she arrived at the swamp she accidentally stepped on a frog,and made a very sincere apology to the forgiving frog. The frog turned out to be very annoying to Emeralda with many rude comments. She began to tell him the whole story of why she had come to the swamp. After she had explained the frog had asked, "If your mother had invited a prince over does that mean you are a princess?" Emeralda shyly nodded her head. Suddenly straightened his broad shoulders, bowed to where his waist would be if he had one. "I do apoligize your highness if I had realized you were such an exalted personage I never would've said such churlish comments," said the frog. The frog now introduces himself as Prince Eadric stating that a witch casted a spell on me and now I am a frog. To undo the spell a princess must kiss me for me to become human again. Emeralda refused to kiss an amphibian and stomped off to talk to her aunt Grassina. When she reached her aunt witch Grassina's room,she asked her about humans being turned into frogs her aunt said it was possible and to have the spell undone a princess must kiss the frog. Emeralda secretly went back to the swamp that evening to talk to Eadric. She found the frog in the same place earlier but he was now catching flies. She took a deep breath and slowly walked up to the hungry frog. She explained why she decided to kiss the frog. They slowly kissed... and then suddenly she fell down the waterfall, as she was going down she saw an otter with her necklace. She tried to get it, but it was too hard because she did not know how to swim. At the end of the waterfall she looked at herself. She no longer had her fair skin. She now had smooth green skin. Eadric quickly hopped over her and landed right in front of her. Emeralda was very angry that she was no longer human she was a frog!" I am extremely sorry Emeralda we were both supposed to be humans, the spell must've gotten mixed up!" Eadric explained. "Well how can we fix this?" Emeralda asked. "We can go to the place where the witch casted a spell on me, on every night that has a full moon she comes outside to the well, if we make it in time maybe she can fix the spell," Eadric answered. And they began their journey to the well. As they set off on their journey,Emeralda's stomach began to growl. Eadric had already stopped to eat some flies, after many tries Emeralda felt as if it were detrimental to catch one fly and eat it. They were off again. After walking many miles, a human with a dark cloak over her head stopped them. Eadric explained what happened between them. The witch was not the one that had cast the spell on Eadric. She threw them in a bag with poison ivy. They were swinging back and forth with a large thud for every foot step. When they reached the witches house. They were thrown in a cage next to many others. They were given food, Eadric dug in, but Emeralda told him not to because she thought it was poisonous. They slowly fell asleep in the cage. It was very hard for Emeralda to fall asleep because she was itchy everywhere because of the poison ivy. She woke up to the sound of the witches foot steps to leave her room. The other animals also woke up, and the bat in the corner spoke to Emeralda," Your frog friend was given poisonous foods to put him to sleep." The witch did that because in her next spell one of the ingredients was two tongues of talking frogs. Emeralda sneakily pulled out a book of spells for her to escape. She let all of the animals escape. She hopped very fast and she woke up Eadric to begin their journey home. It was much harder than the first journey because the witch brought them very far to her room. A hawk flew above them and they had to hide in a log. The hawk would not leave them alone. They finally reached the castle and there were many feet they had to dodge to get to Aunt Grassina's room for her to undo the spell. They had to knock very hard on her door, when she opened the door she looked side to side and didn't see anyone. Emeralda then hopped up and down to get her attention. She picked up the two frogs and asked who they were, Eadric explained their rough journey,and the dillema. Aunt Grassina wanted proof that the frog was really Emeralda. Eadric tickled her so that Aunt Grassina could hear her niece's donkey braying laugh.Her aunt believed them and said a little spell over them and they were human again! In their country children at the age of fourteen were to get married so Emeralda and Eadric got married and lived happily ever after!
