Cloaked by Alex Flinn
Once again, Alex Flinn takes us for a fairy-tale full plot that brings in traditional tales, including “The Frog Prince”, “The Six Swans”, “The Elves and the Shoemaker.” By creatively integrating these beloved tales into her book, Alex tells the story of seventeen-year-old Johnny, a boy who spends his days (and nights) working the family shoe repair shop. In the midst of providing for his mom and meeting shoe deadlines, Johnny has no hope of ever enjoying the summer taking place right outside his door in South Beach, Florida. But that all changes when the drop-dead gorgeous Princess Victoriana of Alora comes to town, surprising Johnny by sending him on a mission…to find her brother, the heir to the throne. There’s one complication though; Prince Phillip has been cursed and is now hopping around somewhere in the world as a frog. Our shoe-maker sets off on this adventure, and learns quite a few meaningful lessons- you’re going to think twice when you see your cat after reading this! A story packed full of magic and friendship, as well as a touch of romance, Alex Flinn reminds us that with hope and belief in the unbelievable, anything can be achieved. Those who love fantasy and romance, as well as a quick read, will enjoy this book. Recommended for grades 7 and up.
