Description
The enchanting second book in New York Times bestselling author Jessica Day George's Twelve Dancing Princesses series is a Cinderella retelling that will sweep you off your feet!
Finally free from the curse that forced her to dance every night, Princess Poppy has vowed to never again put on a pair of dancing slippers. So she is reluctant to take part in the royal exchange program, devised by her father and the neighboring kings.
Upon arriving in Breton, Poppy meets a handsome prince promising friendship . . . and maybe something more. But when a servant named Eleanora suddenly sets her sights on the prince, too, which girl will win his heart? And who is behind the magnificent gowns and slippers that the penniless Eleanora has been wearing to the ball? Only Poppy can see through the magic that holds the rest of Breton in its spell. Poppy has already broken one curse before, so she's just the girl to take on another!
