From Mother Daughter Book Reviews: "The Underground Princess is a fabulous and unique book that completely took me by surprise. It features exceptional writing, relatable characters, and a very clever plot with underlying messages about loyalty, courage, beauty, and love. I highly recommend this book to children ages 6 to 12 as a great read-aloud book or for those interested in reading something with a touch of macabre. This one is definitely a candidate for a Hidden Gem Award by MDBR in the future!"FINALIST: Readers’ Favorite Book Awards 2015 -- Children: FableAWARDED: Awesome Indies-ApprovedNot all fairytales take place in rolling hills or along sparkling beaches.
