“She was, surprisingly, an exquisite dancer."
We journey into Week 2 of The 12 Dancing Princesses Month with one of Cassie's favorite fairy tale retellings of all time, Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George. Cassie loves this book and was pretty anxious to hear what Drew's opinion would be after reading it for the first time! Set in the fictional kingdom of Westfalin, this YA novel from 2009 remains faithful to the original story while digging deeper to answer the many questions the fairy tale raises. Galen is a young soldier returning from war and Rose the eldest of a dozen princesses, and both find themselves searching for a way to break a curse that is forcing the twelve sisters to dance in a secret underworld every night. Dark forces are working against them in the world below as well as the world above, and they must resort to some creative resources to defeat some formidable foes!
