Why read on Fable?
Publisher 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

“I thoroughly enjoyed this wacky adventure full of fairytale subversion, magic, and kissing. It was hilarious, well paced, and well written. It was super easy to read, and the story compelled me to read on. I loved the cast of characters. I loved the setting. I loved the plot.
A great pick by the YA Chronicles (March 2017)!”

“Frogkisser by Garth Nix is a Princess and the Frog retelling. An evil sorcerer is planning to take over the kingdom and Princess Anya sets off on a Quest to stop him. An entertaining story that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. Interesting characters and a lot of fun.”
