Review: Cute story for little girls
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a charming story with a chipper little heroine all girls can relate to. The storyline is pretty simple and makes good use of an e-book's hyperlink capabilities to offer variations. This book doesn't quite take full advantage of the medium, though. Instead of offering multiple stories, or a story with multiple endings, Princess Marina offers a story with a beginning and an end with varying ways of getting there. Still quite enjoyable, and I think kids will like reading it multiple times to see all the options. The author sneaks in a bit of teaching alongside the story in a well-integrated way. It's a fun read, and I recommend it for kids up to about age 8 or 10.
