Description
The last thing she needs is a prince. The first thing she needs is some magic. . . . "An uproarious adventure" from the New York Times-bestselling author! (Publishers Weekly)
Poor Princess Anya. Stuck living with her evil stepmother's new husband, her evil step-stepfather. Plagued with an unfortunate ability to break curses with a magic-assisted kiss. And forced to go on the run when her step-stepfather decides to make the kingdom entirely his own.
Aided by a loyal talking dog, a boy thief trapped in the body of a newt, and some extraordinarily mischievous wizards, Anya sets off on a Quest that, if she plays it right, will ultimately free her land-and teach her a thing or two about the use of power, the effectiveness of a well-placed pucker, and the finding of friends in places both high and low.
With Frogkisser!, acclaimed author Garth Nix has conjured a fantastical tale for all ages, full of laughs and danger, surprises and delights, and an immense population of frogs. It's 50% fairy tale, 50% fantasy, and 100% pure enjoyment from start to finish.
"Delightful . . . wonderfully inventive creatures . . . a captivating story." -School Library Journal (starred review)
"The characters are so enjoyable readers are sure to miss them when the quest (and book) ends . . . Great fun with heart." -Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A delightful adventure stuffed with absurdity, magic, and a spirited young heroine. Beneath these entertaining trappings lies a heartfelt message of justice." -Booklist
"A rollicking comic fantasy . . . Well-developed characters, an unfailing sense of humor, and polished prose . . . a pleasure to read." -Publishers Weekly
