For Grimm’s sake, Dorthea was still only a teenager!īut OK, well, maybe it was infantile to throw a hissy-fit during the Muse Day ball. It was bad enough that she was confined inside the Emerald Palace, courtesy of some ancient fire-making curse that nobody was sure even worked anymore, but her parents kept trying to marry her off to some dumb prince from another stupid kingdom - the latest of which, Prince Kato of Somewhere-Somewhere, was a big jerk. And if a giant didn’t do it, an ogre could unless, of course, you’re a princess and, as in the new book by Betsy Schow, you’re “Spelled.”Ĭrown Princess Dorthea was really “pixed.” With hands the size of small cars, they’d pick you up and fling you aside. You simply knew they were just waiting to crush your house or grind your bones to make their bread.
When you were small, thanks to fairy tales, you were quite afraid of giants. Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving the kingdom in chaos and her parents stuck in some place called "Kansas." Now it's up to Dorthea and her pixed off prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse.before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.With a starting point of a basic princess story, author Betsy Schow moves with lightning speed through just about every fairy tale and fantasy story you can remember in "Spelled." (Special to View) But a forced marriage to the not-so-charming prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future. Sure being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks-like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels.
Fairy Tale Survival Rule #32: If you find yourself at the mercy of a wicked witch, sing a romantic ballad and wait for your Prince Charming to save the day. Somewhere over the rainbow, all spells about to break loose.
