Lindsey (the talented author) just happens to be my cousin! Well ok, she's actually married to my cousin. But I'll claim she is MY actual cousin because that makes me sound more cool. :) I guess we just have a thing for princesses in this family! Anyway, her book "Princess For Hire" was recently published by Disney Hyperion. And, I've heard a rumor that Disney may even make this book into a movie. See, now THAT is cool!! I was able to get my hands on a copy to read a few weeks ago and I have to say, I loved it! It's geared towards the YA audience, but I would say most girls (even adults) over the age of about 10-11 would love it. It's a fun read and actually not what I expected at all. I won't spill the beans and give away the plot or anything. But, if you or your girls are looking for a fun and uplifting book to read over the summer, I would recommend it. (And not just because I'm sorta related to the author.)
I'm pretty sure you can find this book in most book stores. I saw it in our local "Barnes and Noble" the other day. Or there are links to purchase it on the Princess For Hire website.
This is neat. Does she have any other books out?
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! I wish it was available on Kindle. I'll have to look for it! Oh, and I claim my cousins spouses as my cousins too! Close enough, and "cousin-in-law" is just too difficult to say! Good for her!
ReplyDeleteThat's a GREAT BOOK! (I read an ARC)
ReplyDeleteCongrats to her!
Tara, she has written several books but I'm pretty sure this is the first one that has been published. Princess For Hire is actually going to be a series, so there will be more of those coming soon.
ReplyDeleteI just bought one from amazon on her website! My daughter is 13 and needs some entertainment this summer. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI'll check into that book, thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteBTW, I didn't miss that you said you needed a hairstyling break :( Don't stay away too long, we'll miss seeing your gorgeous Little Princess and her pretty hair.
I saw this book on Goodreads and added it to my list to read. Sounded like a cute book!
ReplyDeleteOh me oh my, I just found your blog, and I can't wait to explore it with my two little daughters! I'm very useless with their lovely long blond hair, barely managing more than a plait. Thanks for sharing!!
