Princess of the Wild Swans by Diane Zahler

Princess of the Wild Swans by Diane Zahler - 212 pages

Princess Meriel's new stepmother has quickly taken over the castle.  The furniture is all replaced.  The guards now report directly to her.  And the five princes have all disappeared to a foreign boarding school.  Or did they?  Princess Meriel discovers they have been turned into swans and it is only with her help that they can be changed  back.
This is a retelling of the fairy tale The Wild Swans.  It was an interesting retelling as they made the princess much younger than usual.  A great fairy tale retelling for children.
