“I thought I knew the story of Cinderella. Well, now I know the truth! THE RAT PRINCE, told in alternating voices of Prince Char (the Rat Prince) and Cinderella, gives the familiar fairy tale a surprising and delightful twist. Bridget Hodder has re-imagined the timeless story in a way that is not only engaging, but raises thoughtful questions about loyalty, integrity, and beauty.”
—Victoria Coe, author of the FENWAY AND HATTIE series
“This book is utterly adorable–and I LOVED the voice of the Rat Prince himself, Char, with a mad and passionate adoration…hilarious, quirky, wonderful and unique, offering a genuinely different and fabulous take on the Cinderella story. Highly recommended!”
–Stephanie Burgis, author of the CHOCOLATE DRAGON series
“It takes a certain genius to take a story as familiar as Cinderella and make it into something alive and emotionally-charged. The Rat Prince succeeds wonderfully because it brings new levels of substance to the classic fairy story.”
–Andrew Brumbach, author of THE EYE OF MIDNIGHTÂ
“This is a rollicking story, great fun, swoon and hilarious and twisty-turny, too!”
–Heidi Heilig, author of THE GIRL FROM EVERYWHERE, THE SHIP BEYOND TIME, and FOR A MUSE OF FIRE
