A frog prince, enchanted swans, spell-casting witches, a magical cloak--all are quite real, seventeen-year-old Johnny learns after agreeing to find a princess's brother in modern-day Miami. Flinn's interlacing of tales ("The Elves and the Shoemaker," "The Six Swans," "The Frog Prince," to name a few) makes for entertaining reading; fairy-tale fans will be gratified by the true-love-was-there-all-along ending.
