From the Publisher

Katherine Kellgren narrates this prequel to THE TALES OF THE FROG PRINCESS series, shedding light on the early life of Grassina. Grassina is challenged to find her own way to magic in order to save the kingdom. Her mother, the good Green Witch, has lost her powers and now devotes her time to making Grassina’s life miserable. As narrator of this series, Kellgren has a comfort level with the material that gives her the authority to make E.D. Baker’s magical world readily believable. Kellgren’s ability to inhabit the many voices in Baker’s world—from a bossy older sister to a frightening werewolf—will entertain listeners while keeping them abreast of the author’s whimsical plot.
