The Ordinary Princess
Ratings9
Average rating3.9
Along with Wit, Charm, Health, and Courage, Princess Amy of Phantasmorania receives a special fairy christening gift: Ordinariness. Unlike her six beautiful sisters, she has brown hair and freckles, and would rather have adventures than play the harp, embroider tapestries . . . or become a Queen. When her royal parents try to marry her off, Amy runs away and, because she's so ordinary, easily becomes the fourteenth assistant kitchen maid at a neighboring palace. And there . . . much to everyone's surprise . . . she meets a prince just as ordinary (and special) as she is!

Another read aloud finished ✔️ This book is fantastic. I think the cover is ugly, not ordinary, and the illustrations inside are much better. The story is magnificent and it was really difficult to put down. I think we read in three segments. It was for my Rascal (8), but everyone listened in (13-3) especially my Princess (11). #sonlightstories
It has been so long that I can barely remember the fine details of this story, but I just want you to know that as a child I lived and breathed this story. I remember the beautiful purple cover that I got from a scholastic book fair, the way the pages smelled and the adventure that was kept inside. I remember that I loved this story, the princess, and Phantasmagoria. I know that when my child is old enough I am going to buy her a copy of this so that she can carry it around everywhere with her as I did. It was a magical book then, and a five star read for a little girl with a blossoming love of reading.
