"An empowering read for middle-grade girls; it presents strong female characters, a fun and smart lead, and it rolls with themes about harmony between people who are quite different from each other. Baker is a superstar, well versed in writing princesses who are more than what's typical or expected. It's an added delight that the story's world is so vividly described and well fleshed out, making any reader wish they could visit." - Booklist online "Aislin is unfailingly brave and resourceful . Baker's world building is perfectly attuned to young sensibilities as she presents a realm of physical beauty, interspecies harmony, and mixed-race familial love for readers to visit and for Aislin to call home." -- BCCB, on More Than a Princess "Aislin's journey to self-acceptance is rewarding, and readers will easily draw parallels between Aislin's world and their own." -- Publishers Weekly, on More Than a Princess "Whenever Aislin heads outdoors, [the] author's gift for synthesizing nature and magic comes into play. A quirky, imaginative tale.
" -- Kirkus Reviews, on More Than a Princess "Self-esteem building in a lively package for younger middle grade readers who enjoy light magical adventure tales." -- School Library Journal, on More Than a Princess "Baker (the Frog Princess series) gives this series starter a familiar, Disney feel, which will engage younger readers, while themes of courage and self-acceptance give it a powerfully positive message." -- Booklist, on More Than a Princess "Full of fun and whimsy. A delightful romp through a truly unique fairy tale world!" -- Jessica Day George, New York Times bestselling author of Tuesdays at the Castle, on The Fairy-Tale Matchmaker "Annie is an enjoyable, independent, and undaunted character, who uses wits and skills rather than spells in her endeavors." -- Kirkus Reviews on A Question of Magic "Slyly combines fairy-tale tropes . The humor and relationships created by Baker are happily reminiscent of such classics as Howl's Moving Castle ." -- Kirkus on A Question of Magic.
