Johnny works in his the family business, a shoe repair shop in South Beach. Barely keeping the bills paid with his nose to the grindstone this high school student does not wish for much, just a bit of money to help his mama out.
Enter one princess with tales of magic and a quest for Johnny to go in search of her brother who has been turned into a frog.
A great combination of fairy tales in a modern setting.

Review of books from a wide variety of styles including fantasy, my personal favorite, Southern fiction, mystery, young adult and even the occasional non-fiction selection. I will even read the back of the cereal box but I promise not to review that.
