The Jewel Princesses and the Missing Crown by Jahnna N. Malcolm

4.0

I LOVED this series as a child and I've recently been tracking down the ones I don't have in order to complete my collection. These books are just as lovely and charming as I remember and I really enjoyed this one. The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is the black and white nature of the good vs evil theme. I understand that these books are aimed at very young children so grey areas might be a difficult concept but I didn't think that Princess Rudgrin deserved to be punished just for being born on the wrong side. After all, that's something she couldn't help. I would have liked to see the Jewel Princesses befriend her and forgive her wrongs. Regardless of that, it was still very enjoyable and quite cute. If you loved these books as a kid then chances are you will still love them as an adult :)
