The Authors:
Bridget Hodder, Author of The Rat Prince
1. The Prince of the Rats becomes Cinderella's coachman in a most magical, romantic, and unexpected adventure!

3. I have a couple of secret projects in the works-- one related to THE RAT PRINCE-- and the other one goes in a completely new direction!
Lygia Day Peñaflor, Author of Unscripted Joss Byrd
1. A critically acclaimed child star struggles with her demanding mother, a disturbing script, and impending puberty.

Yay for lovely looking books :D The Rat Prince looks so cute. Not sure if I really wish to read it, lol, but cute :)
ReplyDeleteGotta be honest, The Rat Prince isn't a book I'd normally read. HOWEVER.....after seeing this interview and knowing that it's about this little obscure character from a beloved tale -- I think it sounds great!
