Princess Devin can talk to animals and wants to be a magical animal caretaker, but her mother has other ideas. She is a princess and has to go to the Royal Academy to train to be one. But when she gets there, something is wrong. The fairy godmother running the academy is not the person Devin thought she was. Fun book with magic, humor, dragons and mystery to boot. Princess Devin is definitely not your typical princess and the challenges she faces in being who she wants to be will be well received by readers. There is action and drama in the story but with enough humor to lighten it up. A good choice for readers that enjoy a touch of fairy tale to their humorous adventures and a royal female character that might not be what you expect her to be.

Recommended for ages 9 and up.
