The Restless Girls

From acclaimed author Jessie Burton comes a debut middle-grade fairy tale retelling of 'The Twelve Dancing Princesses.' After the death of Queen Laurelia in a motor car accident, King Alberto enforces strict rules that restrict the freedom of his twelve daughters in an effort to keep them safe. However, the eldest princess, Frida, refuses to comply and leads her sisters in a fight for independence using the power of imagination and ingenuity. 'The Restless Girls' is a vibrant feminist tale celebrating sisterhood, bravery, and the strength of clever, resourceful young women. It is described as a fierce, magical modern retelling and a modern classic that is meant to be handed down through generations.
