Sunday is the seventh daughter of Seven and Jack Woodcutter. One day while writing in her journal in the woods she meets an enchanted frog. They quickly become friends and fall in love. Then one day, Sunday kisses the frog but runs off before noticing that he has changed back into the Prince Rumbold. Surely, their love will lead them to one another and a happy ending. The only problem - Sunday's family hates the prince as the cause of the downfall of the oldest son Jack Jr.
I loved this book. It was a great compilation of almost every fairy tale - Jack and the Beanstalk, Cinderella, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Old Woman in the Shoe, The Frog Prince, etc. It was a wonderful original fairy tale even with the inclusion of several familiar fairy tale motifs. I liked the book so much that it wasn't until after completely finishing it that I realized that Sunday wasn't the heroine of the book - and it didn't bother me at all.
