The Thirteenth Princess -- Diane Zahler -- A Retelling Based on The Twelve Dancing Princesses I love fairy tale retellings and had been looking forward to reading this book despite the fact that I knew it was targeted more towards Middle Grade or Childrens. I've always had fairly bad luck with M...
