Quite a cute cover! Here's some information on this book tour - my review down at the bottom.
About the Book:
“The Missing
Fairy Princess” is the story of a 16-year-old fairy princess pitted against a
powerful witch. The witch has stolen a potent new mantra developed by a
colleague, ruthlessly snuffing out a brilliantly innovative mind. She then hatches an elaborate plot to frame
an adversary for her misdeed. Her
intention is to exact sweet revenge from her foe and at the same time, get away
with the theft. The victim, caught in
her vicious web, is doomed to disgrace and a life sentence on a harsh penal
colony. Meanwhile, the witch learns from her crystal ball, about an imminent
threat from a fairy princess wearing a pink tiara. To ward off that threat she kidnaps the fairy
princess, wipes her memory clean and then turns her into a two-year-old
girl.
Unfortunately
for the culprit, she has goofed up by kidnapping the wrong fairy princess,
Merlyn, instead of Ashlyn, her twin. The
mistake turns out to be the undoing of the witch because Ashlyn proves to be
her nemesis. The brilliant fairy
princess exposes the cobweb of misleading evidence fabricated by the witch,
ultimately unmasking her.
If you love
mystery, whodunit, with a dash of magical realism and sci-fi, this book is for
you.

My review: A fairy tale for the slightly older child (there is quite a nasty bit near the end). One fairy princess is
kidnapped in mistake for her twin sister by an unpleasant witch intent on getting her
revenge in first. The story is rather an odd mixture of settings, moods and themes
– holy rosaries don’t often come into fairy tales, for example, the imagery
moves between fairyland, science fiction, and the here-and-now, and a witch on
a flying carpet seems to bring together the Brothers Grimm and the Arabian
Nights. It’s certainly impossible to guess what might happen next! Time
stretches and contracts, sometimes confusingly. There are a few typos, but not
too many to spoil the flow: also, I wasn’t keen on the odd use of italics for
some names, but then it’s definitely a quirky book!
