Seeking your happily ever after in the new year? Escape into a fairytale with the first book in The Princess Swap series, Cinderella and the Beast (or is it Beauty and the Glass Slipper?) by author Kim Bussing.
Why does this book have two titles? Let us explain! In this fresh take on a fairytale retelling, the princesses you know and love have swapped lives and wake up in a land far, far away from the ones they’re used to. Think of it like Freaky Friday, but replace the leading ladies with Cinderella and Belle and add the pressure of a crucially important royal competition, a dangerous beast, a wicked stepfamily with equally wicked plans, and a happily ever after that feels totally out of reach. With clever twists and obstacles, can Ella and Bella make their own happily ever afters?
What would happen if Cinderella found herself in the beast’s castle, and Beauty woke up in some evil stepmother’s home? Fairy tales meet Freaky Friday in this series, where there’s a magical mix-up for every princess!
The magical first edition paperback of Cinderella and the Beast (or, Beauty and the Glass Slipper) will feature dual-toned sprayed edges!
Ella’s spent her life dreaming about adventure, but it’s hard to have adventures when you’re stuck with a stepfamily who treat you like a servant. When she unexpectedly wakes up in a land far, far away, she’s thrilled at the chance to embark on an epic quest. That is, until she finds herself trapped once more—this time in the castle of a dangerous beast.
Belle, meanwhile, has plans. Her family’s trading company is on the brink of ruin, and to save it, she’s going to enter—and win—a royal competition in the prince’s honor. But when she unexpectedly winds up in a cellar with a wicked stepfamily who have their own plans to keep her from the competition . . . things get complicated.
Happily-ever-after couldn’t feel farther away. Can Ella escape the beast’s clutches? And can Belle get rid of this stepfamily in time for the competition?
For other Princess Swaps, don’t miss Snow White and the Dragon (or, Sleeping Beauty and the Seven Dwarfs)!
