This review is for the Kindle edition ebook.Disclosure:  I was offered my copy of this book by the author as a review copy.A princess, a protector, knights in shining armor, and a unicorn; all the components to make a good fairy tale come to life.The princess wants to find the lost kingdom, accompanied by her protector. This story is as much about making good choices for oneself as it about the results of making your own choices. It is also about the consequences of those decisions. The last chapter seemed a bit too long to me. I look for the fairy tale to end with a flourish when the prince and princess get married. This one does not, the author chose to continue for a couple of pages.The descriptions in this story actually made the story come alive for me. I could see in my imagination exactly what the author describes. I laughed out loud while reading parts of this fairy tale.Where the goal of the author is to educate and entertain, the story must be written in a way that attracts the readers. This story does both, and fits nicely into the realm of make-believe. While this is not a book for children to read, it most definitely is a fairy tale that can be read to them.I would recommend this story to those parents of young children, to read this to those children. I also think those who enjoy folk tales and fairy tales will enjoy this one. Michelle Snyder writes very clearly and keeps the story fun for all ages.
