Princess of Glass

By Jessica Day George

Book Description

The engrossing companion novel to Princess of the Midnight Ball, with a wicked twist on Cinderella

Hoping to escape the troubles in her kingdom, Princess Poppy reluctantly agrees to take part in a royal exchange program, whereby young princes and princesses travel to each other's countries in the name of better political alliances-and potential marriages. It's got the makings of a fairy tale-until a hapless servant named Eleanor is tricked by a vengeful fairy godmother into competing with Poppy for the eligible prince. Ballgowns, cinders, and enchanted glass slippers fly in this romantic and action-packed happily-ever-after quest from an author with a flair for embroidering tales in her own delightful way.

"In a clever reworking of the Cinderella story, George once again proves adept at spinning her own magical tale. Fans of Donna Jo Napoli’s retellings will cheer loudly as George proves her own mettle."— Booklist

"George delivers another satisfying fairytale retelling. Poppy is intrepid and forthright, refreshing qualities in a fairytale princess. Christian is an affable hero who is far from perfect—and sometimes quite helpless (also a refreshing change, for a fairytale prince)."—VOYA
