REVIEW

The first thing I noticed about this book were the unusual names for the characters.  It was especially fun that Fortunata became a fortune teller.  I enjoyed the many times that magic came into the story.  My favorite was when Prince Leonato’s golden slippers fit Fortunata.

This was a book that was hard to put down.  It definitely kept my attention and it is a story that I will remember for a very long time.

The happy ending was well written and made me smile.  I like how everything tied up like a neat little package at the end.
