Fantasy Picks- Princesses!

Spring Story Time is on hiatus for the next two weeks (I have to wade through the piles of paper that have been gathering in my office and order all sorts of glossy, new books for our readers!), so I'm planning to post a few Book Pick Lists, similar to last fall's book lists.  Tip: If the book you want isn't on the shelf at your library, go to the front desk and ask to fill out a request slip, and we'll have the book sent to your library as soon as possible.

Today, I have a topic for our book pick list- princesses!  Revisited fairy tales are usually a popular choice for tween (aka "preteen") readers and seem to fly off the shelves.  So, enjoy the fantasy titles for this list; some are funny, some are dramatic, and all of them will keep you turning pages:
