The next book in the Tales of the frog princess series. Emma and Eadric travel Eadric's home to receive premission to marry. Emma promised not to use magic but finds that promise hard to keep.

I'm part of a writing club, and we were asked by the library we meet at to review some children's books for them. So I own an uncorrected advanced proof copy. I... seriously disliked it. Perhaps it's simply because I haven't read the other books that came before it, but I disliked Emma as a

character and the way the magic flowed in the world. Or simply the amount of ease she had with tapping into it. It bothered me. I'm not sure what else to say. I suppose I'd have to reread it to be able to put more into words.

Out of all the books in this series, this is the best out of all of them. In this book, Emma, who is a princess and a green witch, travels with Eadric to Eacdric's kingdom to ask for their parent's blessing in marriage. But there, the people aren't very comfortable with magic. So when Emma goes to

Eadric's kingdom, whe has to try to find ways to not use magic. This story is just as twisted as the other ones in the series. But before reading this book, I suggest you that you read the first few books before actually reading this one.

Tales of the Frog Princess, book 4.

Emma and Eadric are ready to get married, but first they have to get his parents' approval. Eadric's mother does not approve of magic. She hates it so much that she won't even allow Emma to help rescue her younger son, Bardston, who has been kidnapped by trolls.

THis is probably the weakest link in the series, but it was still funny enough to keep me reading. I just love Emma. She is a great character.

Last one in the Frog Princess series (so far, though I think there might be a prequel coming out). Emma and Eadric are finally getting married. But it turns out that magic is not really welcome in Eadric's kingdom, so both Emma and her future subjects have a lot of work to do to come to an

understanding. Also Eadric's nasty little brother gets kidnapped by trolls and they have to rescue him.

This is probably one of the best ones so far, because finally all the elements have come together. However, I think Baker could probably continue to write untold number of adventures with Emma, Eadric, and company. Or even lots of backstories ;-p

This one took me a while to get into- it's been a long time since I read the others in the series. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the best of the series- I guess it was a pretty typical sort of adventure. I was glad, however, to finally have things sorted with Emma and Eadric.

This book is the last in the Frog Princess series and it is based around Emma and Eadric getting married. There was a worry that magic would not be ok in Eadric's Kingdom because his mother dos not approve of it and Emma works hard to find a common ground in this new union. They end up needing to

rescue Eadric's spoiled little brother from trolls and this adds more adventure to the story.

The book is ok, it gives good examples of compromise and accepting differences, which is a struggle in today's world with children and adults.

The students can really give their input on this story and how things could change. How they can accept the differences in others and they can name their differences.

This book was one of my favorites. This is my favorite series. This series needs to be more popular, because it is amazing! This series got me into fairytales and Princess books.

Just a bit too much of a focus on the serial adventure for my taste. This is the last book of the series, as far as I can tell, to focus on Emma and Eadric. I did like the banshee. Little bits like that set these books apart from the wannabees. The next is prequel, about Grassina & Chartreuse as

As usual, cute fluff. Emma and Eadric do begin to be a little more solid - I think they're both stupid several times in this book, but I can see why the persons they are might do those things (not just author fiat). I think her spell on Bradston was unwise, and is going to come back to bite her if

she does admit to it (or even if she doesn't), but again, I can see why she did it. And a happy ever after (yeah, right) - for quite a few people.
