The views from that mountain are amazing! Look, Annie, the picture looks so real, almost as if you could feel the sow.” “Liam, no!” Annie shouted, grabbing his free hand as he touched the middle of the postcard with the other. With my fair friends helping me, we should find him long before you come home.” Liam examined the card on the top of the pile. While you’re on your grand tour, I’ll find Rotan and lock him away for good. “You have to touch the middle of the card showing the place you want to visit while thinking about how much you want to go there. “And all we have to do is touch them?” Moonbeam nodded. Recommended Age Range: 12+ Warnings: Kissing Genre: Fantasy, Middle Grade “So you think we should use these postcards?” said Liam. These series would be good for children who enjoy these sorts of fairy-tale-esque adventures, but if they want something with more depth and memorability, they should look elsewhere. Baker also gets around Annie’s magical immunity by introducing a new, special magic that is not affected by her gift, and I supposed it makes sense in a way even if it is hand-waving and obviously contrived. Other than that, Princess between Worlds is same old, same old-Annie and Liam go on an adventure, get into trouble because of Annie’s magic, have stilted conversations with each other and with other people, and are attacked by enemies for no apparent reason other than to create conflict. The crossover was clearly fan service, but it was a reasonably good idea, and it was probably the part of the book I found most interesting. Now, since Baker essentially reveals everything that occurs in those books, I no longer have to read them-yes, be warned that Baker spoils the events of the later books in the Frog Princess series with this book. I did find the idea of a crossover appealing, and Princess between Worlds has characters from Baker’s Tales of the Frog Princess in it, although I hadn’t gotten far enough in the series to meet those particular characters. And…it only reinforced my decision that I’m not a fan of Annie’s story anymore. Rating: 2/5 I wasn’t planning on reading more of Baker’s works, especially not a series that has continuously disappointed me, but I saw Princess between Worlds on the library shelves and decided to pick it up. What the witch doesn’t tell them is how to safely return, so it’ll be up to Annie-with her immunity to magic-to find a way to get Liam and herself home before they find themselves stuck in one place forever.
During their adventures, they meet many new friends, but they also encounter people who want to harm them. She explain that by simply touching a postcard, it will transport Annie and Liam to exotic lands and far-flung kingdoms. Just as Princess Annie and Prince Liam are making plans to leave Treecrest and travel the world, a witch shows up and gifts them a collection of postcards from the Magic Marketplace. It is the sequel to Princess in Disguise.
