Rather than just sitting by and hoping that her fairy godmother makes all her dreams come true, Ms. Fine adopts a whatever-it-takes attitude to finding the "heir to the throne" of her dreams. By truly believing that her childhood fantasy would come true, Ms. Fine finds out the hard way that you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find your prince. Throughout her journey, readers will laugh and cry along with her in her efforts to date a British boy with the perfect bloodline. A surprise ending in which the root of her lifelong obsession is uncovered is sure to make readers consider that truth is certainly stranger than fiction at times. My only complaint is that there were so many obvious picture worthy events in Someday My Prince Will Come but the publisher chose to include only four in the entire book, clearly insufficient for any would-be princess.
