Iscriviti per consentire a LibraryThing di scoprire se ti piacerà questo libro. Attualmente non vi sono conversazioni su questo libro. A highly amusing fairy-tale filled romp, with the same light-hearted adventure that Nix brought to Newt's Emerald. Princess Anya, with the weight of promises on her shoulders and a quest to make transmogrification-reversing lip balm is pursued by headline spewing Heralds and her evil stepstepfather. It sounds pretty silly. It is pretty silly, but there are deeper matters to consider when you are a princess on a quest, even when you think your choices don't matter. Heart, adventure, crazy carpet-riding shenanigans and a whole host of transmogrified heroes. Great fun! Advanced Reader's copy provided by Edelweiss. This middle-grade/YA fantasy was my first exposure to author Garth Nix. Read my full review here. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Princess Anya has a big problem: Duke Rikard, her step-stepfather is an evil wizard who wants to rule the kingdom and has a habit of changing people into frogs, and her older sister Morven, the heir, is a wimp--so with the help of the librarian Gotfried (who turns into an owl when he is upset), and the Royal Dogs, she must find away to defeat Rikard, save her sister, and maybe even turn Prince Denholm back into a human being.

I was both amused and charmed by this YA story and fell in love with these characters. Of course I couldn’t help but love Ardent the dog the most, he is wonderfully portrayed and livens up any scene that he was in. It was obvious that the author enjoyed the writing of this story, pulling tidbits from many different fairy tales and adding some marvellous items such as the Wallet of Crunchings and Munchings and the intriguing flying carpet with the unpronounceable name of Pathadwanimithochozkal.
While I was always aware that I was reading a YA story and I felt that it was a little too long, Frogkisser! is well worth the read. A good story with well developed characters – some to root for and some to boo. It had me wishing that I could read this aloud to a group of youngsters just to see their reactions. ( )
