Recenzii

A feminist fairytale aboutfinding one's inner lionessand about picking a battle very much worth fighting .This brilliant reimagining of Grimms' taleThe Twelve Dancing Princessescompletely subverts the fairytale genre. Gone are insipid, demure 'weaker sex' princessy-princesses andenter feisty and passionate girls who trail-blaze their way into a better life... This would beperfect for children in upper key stage 2and would work well alongside our sequences forThe Sleeper and The Spindle,The Lost Happy EndingsandThe Princess' Blankets
It's critical what we read our kids ... Jessie Burton has very cleverly has taken a fairytale that was already standing and loved, but has reframed it. It's asking you to think of yourself and value yourself in terms other than the way you look, and just that - that one tiny aspect of the book - alone, was, to me, just a complete revelation
The Restless Girls is wild, wise, generous, ferocious kind of story. It's a tale to read to your children (of both genders) over and over, and for them to read to theirs. It's a book that glows
A beautifully realised, whirling adventure full of the dark glitter of growing up, The Restless Girls is a fierce fairytale for the rebel girl - and boy - generation
A story of love, loss, grief, and a desperate yearning for freedom, told with breathtaking compassion and wisdom
[Burton] fleshes out this traditional fairytale with personality ... Angela Barrett's illustrations, meanwhile, add an exotic visual richness to Burton's painterly descriptions of the princesses' enchanted underworld
A riveting feminist retelling, filled with excitement, imagination, magic, and just the right touch of darkness. These twelve fierce heroines will be a pleasure to return to again and again
This re-telling was refreshing and empowering and utterly impossible to put down . An exciting and magical tale of joy, love and the courage of twelve girls to be wholly themselves
I have spent years reading princess books to my daughter but changing the words as I go along so they make the female characters stronger and representative and basically not victims. This book did it for me so I can just relax and read the book without worrying about what negative images I am putting into my daughter's brain whilst she can enjoy a book about princesses. This was refreshing and wonderful and a joy to read!

For her twelve daughters, Queen Laurelia's death in a motor car accident is a disaster beyond losing a mother. Their father, King Alberto, cannot bear the idea of the princesses ever being in danger and decides his daughters must be kept safe at all costs. Those costs include their lessons, their possessions and, most importantly, their freedom.
