  1. This book was about a girl who was a tomboy. She got the part of a princess in a play. My favorite character was Marty Maguire because I think she is funny and brave. I liked this book because it was a very good book and was the type of book that I would read. It was funny and I like to read fiction stories. I think you should read this book because it is a funny book and it is interesting. I hope you like this book!

  2. I like this book because it`s funny. The main character is Marty Maguire. When she gets a part of a princess in the play she doesn`t understand why she, Marty Maguire, lover of frogs got chosen as a princess. But when she looks on the bright side, she relizes that she might make a good princess.(At least she gets to kiss a frog!) This book is funny because Veronica Grace Smithers screams when she sees frogs.
