Princess Interrupted by Michael A. Rothman is a gem of a book. Why you may wonder? Well it includes all the things that make up a good tale include interesting plot line, action, conflict, and well-rounded characters. What makes it even better as a YA book is a strong female lead. Well done, Mr. Rothman.What makes it different from all the other teenage angsty tales is a character not focused on dating and social cliques. It offers the reader a lesson in growth and personal awareness. Princess Arabelle is a bit of a spoiled diva until a toxic creature bites her changing her world, as she knows it. She not only has the gift of prophecy, but the fate of her people depends on her.Princess Interrupted is a prequel to Prophecies series. I would highly recommended reading before devouring the series. There is so much to like about this book from its dynamic characters, well-drawn settings, rising action, elves and other magickal creature. It easy to understand why it is a YA treasure.  Like Harry Potter, it is okay if the parents read it too.Two thumbs up and five stars for Princess Interrupted.
