Garden Princess

261 pp. | Candlewick | March, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-5685-0 $15.99
(4) 4-6 Adela, a princess more interested in horticulture than court culture, and Krazo, a boy-turned-magpie, defeat Krazo's enchantress Hortensia, whose garden is full of women she's turned into flowers. Though it feels rather old-fashioned, this magical fairy tale, written in language that invites slow reading, continues beyond the witch's defeat, thoughtfully examining the effects of elapsed time on her prisoners.
