The queen has all she wants except one thing-beauty. Violet possesses this beauty. She also has a secret: though she is very small, both her spirit and her heart are mighty.
When Violet is summoned by Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seems like her life might be taking a turn for the better. But hope quickly fades when Violet's mother is expelled from the castle and they're forbidden to see each other ever again. With everyone's lives in the balance, it's up to Violet to break the spell and reunite her family.

All her whole life, all Violet could remember, she and her mother have been locked away in a tower by evil Queen Bogdana (or is she NOT a queen?). She even has the whole kingdom under her spell! The so-called queen has everything she wants, except one thing she desperately wants, beauty. Violet possesses the beauty she wants. When Violet is summoned by Queen Bogdana to start training to become a real princess, it seemes like her life might become better, but hope quickly fades when Violet's mother is banished from the castle, and she and Violet are forbidden to see each other again. Now it is up to Violet to reunite her family and give them a happy ending, but first she must break the evil fake queen's spell. I love this book! It is one of my favorite books all time! I love how the story has an interesting plot that is similar to the fairy tale of Rapunzel, but with a different twist. I definitly would recommend this book for anyone who likes fairy tales or the Whatever After series.
