This is my first children's book written by phillipa Gregory that I have read. I have enjoyed several of her adult books and was happy to get the chance to review this one. I loved how this book was broken up into 3 stories. Each story was 7-10 chapters each, and will work well for children of all attention span ranges. Princess Floriza is a brave princess who is not afraid to do things her own way. As an adult, I would recommend this book for girls from 3-10. It's a fun storybook to be read aloud to the younger kids, but also perfect for those starting reading chapter books on their own.

In this reimagined fairytale world, a young princess decides she wants to shake things up.

Told in three smaller parts/stories; these are cute, funny, and entertaining enough for most upper elementary students. While some of the segments are a little odd, the underlying message of thwarting archaic gender roles is quite welcome.

A sweet and fun story about a rebel princess. Florizella does not want to be just a princess, she wants to be able to do what she wants regardless of the rules. She wanted to be different and she wanted to break the rules. She finds out there is something called the “Prince Permit” that gives princes the permission to do whatever they want while Princess have to follow the “Princess Rules”. Soon Florizella finds herself on an epic journey traveling the lands, fighting pirates, wresting sea serpents and even riding a woolly mammoth! Go on a fun adventure with Florizella and co in the second book in the series!

*Thanks Netgalley and HarperCollinsChildren’sBooks for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

While this is a book aimed at younger readers, who will undoubtedly enjoy it, I also encourage those long out of school to read it along with them for a good laugh. Gregory has produced a pitch perfect skewering of the stereotypes perpetuated in fairy tales and the voice of Florizella when she is standing up for herself is hilarious. Boys and girls alike will root for her to realize her dreams of a kingdom where princes and princesses are given the same opportunities.
