...a new twist...to the classic tale, creating a strong, sassy, braid-whipping character who waits for no prince. Nathan Hale's art...provides a snazzy counterpoint to the folksy text. A dash of typical fairy-tale romance, a strong sense of social justice and a spunky heroine make this a standout choice for younger teens.
