About this ebook

It isn’t easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday’s only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.
     When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical. One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland—and a man Sunday’s family despises.
     The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past—and hers?

Ratings and reviews

It started out ok, but it just dragged on. There was little to no character development. Not to mention that the inability to use pronouns due to so many sisters made it a bit repetitive. I think the author added too many characters to too small of a book. I understand it's a series, but without a good foundation, it lacks the necessary bond between the characters and reader. It was a great idea, but bad writing choices.

Those who enjoy a good once upon a time are going to love trying to figure out which story each day of the week is living. The book is cute and well written. It keeps you reading even when you know you should put the book down in go to bed.

I read this book in paper form from my school library. I loved it so much The book was actually the first chapter book I ever read and finished. I was in 7th grade when I read this book. I'm now in 8th grade and love reading. This book started it and it's story line is so unexpected and twisted against fate. I love it!
