Folklore. Humor (Fiction.) Young Adult Fiction. HTML: I'm not your average hero. I actually wasn't your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with a curse. And a frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn't a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I've ever heard. Before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Everglades. Don't believe me? I didn't believe it either. But you'll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked. .… (más)

I feel as if I've finally finished this book. It was really loosely crafted, and the plot was a combination of fairy tales not very strongly linked together. Johnny, the protagonist, was- to put it bluntly- an idiot, and the whole story was rather cliche. The setting in Florida was probably really neat for people who live there, but I felt as if Flinn was just inserting randoom local landmarks for fun.
In short, this was an odd book, which didn't fulfill my hopes for quality YA, good fantasy, or even a good fairy tale. The bar was low, and this book went under it.
Oh, and the accents were downright painful. (

I read this after BEASTLY thinking I would like it and I HATED it. It was just so clunky, in my opinion, trying to combine too much lore into one storyline. Beastly felt smooth and logical (even for a fairy tale) but this one was not as even to me. (

A nice combination of several fairy tales (which are discussed at the end) including Frog Prince, Seven Swan Brothers, Shoemaker and the Elves, and the Magic Fish, but also a nice fantasy story. The main character is a boy who figures out how to put all of these together and actually achieve his dreams (and figures out what his dreams are), with the help of his best friend, a girl, who does quite a bit to save him and deserves more than half the credit. She, in fact, is really the one who makes his dreams come true as much as himself or the quest. (

I've never seen a princess before. And it looks like I won't be seeing one today either. Let me back up: I come from a long line of shoe people.
