Review Quotes

Kirkus Reviews
"A prettily conceived and executed design, a decorative Eastern European sensibility and a fairly unconventional storyline make Princess Antonia stand out among the current crop of princesses."

Publishers Weekly
"The story bubbles with irreverent, girly fun and a lighthearted, let's-give-it-a-whirl spirit that may be just the encouragement real-life couch potato princesses need to get moving."

Booklist
"Coh combines digital and traditional art forms, using fabric and textures in unique ways. Young aspiring princesses are sure to giggle as the fairy tale characters follow Antonia--and those same readers should find the ending satisfying . . ."
