Blog Tour {Mini Book Review + Giveaway!} The Princess and the Page by Christina Farley



Welcome to a world where magic spills from the tip of a pen. THE PRINCESS AND THE PAGE is Christina Farley's first middle grade, releasing from Scholastic Press. Make sure you enter the $25 gift card giveaway at the end of this post!



A dark secret lurks in Keira's family. She comes from a long line of Word Weavers who bring their stories to life when they use a magical pen. But Keira's mom is unable to face the truth of the family's history because the Word Weavers have been hunted for generations for their power. And so, she forbids Keira to write. Oblivious to the family's secret ability, and angry at her mom's rule of no fictional writing, Keira discovers her grandma's Word Weaver pen and uses it to write a story for the Girls' World fairy tale contest, believing it will bring her good luck. But when Keira decides to have her fairy tale reflect her family's imperfect life, and has the princess in her story vanquished to a dark tower for eternity, she starts to wonder if anyone ever truly lives happily ever after.

My Review...


Ahh, what can I say...I adored The Princess and the Page! It's been awhile since I've read a middle-grade book and I think it's safe to say that this is just what I needed!

The pages are filled with constant adventure set in a beautiful French castle! Keira isn't your typical twelve year old. Nope, she's a word-weaver, a person with special abilities to make their stories come to life, literally!



While meandering through this book I was reminded of the movie Clue, with the characters aged down of course. 😉 If you're a fan of mystery, action, and plenty of humor then you'll love this story! Not your typical princess book!

My only request is for this to become a series, I'd LOVE another book set in this world!
