Cloaked by Alex Flinn

 

What I Can Tell You: Johnny, was thrust into a shoe repair job when his father left leaving him and his mother to take on the family business alone. Princess Victoria tricks him into fixing her shoe so she can send him on a mission to find her brother. Victoria's "Bruzzer" was turned into a frog by a witch and she needs Johnny's help to find him. She gives him more money than he has ever seen and promises him more and marriage if he can find her brother.  She also gives him a magical cloak that can transport him anywhere he wishes and ear buds that allow him to hear other animals as long as they were once human. Sounds interesting right?!

This was a great read by the author of Beastly which has been made into a movie starring Vanessa Hudgens. It was a modern day Grimm fairy tale, full of surprises and fantasy! I am really interested in reading more Alex Flinn books and I can't wait to pass this onto my teenage nieces who I know will love it even more than me.
