Queen Veda is the most beautiful woman in the kingdom and that's the way she wants it to stay. So when she sends all the girls of the realm to a new academy where they are offered a beauty wonder pill, her daughter Princess Ana is suspicious.

This story was a great modern twist on Snow White, and was a great read with fine description. I find the actually story LINE brilliant - the idea I mean. If I based my ratings on the idea of a book, then this would get 5/5 no problem! It didn't lack anything, as such; it was just a good book. A good read, that I would recommend. I've just said it, but I'll say it again, it was a fantastic story-line - and Nancy deserves credit for thinking up something so unique. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this! * thebeaucoupreview.blogspot.com * This tale's twists and turns will keep you on the edge of your seat! * April Clark (15) , South Yorkshire, Sugar magazine *More details
