Thank you very much to HarpeCollins Canada for sending me this novel - a great discovery!
TITLE: Cloaked
AUTHOR: Alex Flinn
GENRE: Fantasy YA
RATING: 4 Stars
Reading Cloaked was a very, very pleasant surprise for me. In 2011, I decided that I was going to expand my reading genres - so when I was offered Cloaked, I jumped on the occasion.
I loved, loved this book. Author Flinn's take on rewriting and combining a variety of fairy tales and turning them into a charming fantasy about a prince that turns into a frog was totally entertaining.
Of course, I had to leave my "disbelief" at the door because I tend to like my novels more on the "standard" side - but the character Johnny is engaging and I found myself completely involved in the storyline - as if it could ALL actually happen in real life - which, to me, is a sign of just how great the storyline is.
I also loved that darn talking fox -yep, a talking Fox!!!!

Tina I just finished it and I loved it. Alex did a great job on the retelling of the fairy tales. Johnny was my fave.
Great review :)
I've tried a couple fairy tale re-tellings and they didn't wow me. My sister, however, loves them!
