Fortune's Folly, by Deva FaganJuvenile, 2009
Fortunata's family has fallen apart since her mother died and her father has seemingly lost his skill as a shoemaker. Through misadventures she finds herself as a fortune-teller, leading the way for a young prince to find his true love and claim his crown. But things don't go as smoothly as planned, and perhaps it isn't quite what she wants.
This fairy tale with hints of Cinderella is fun - everyone gets what's coming to them and while that can be predictable, I was glad it all worked out after what she goes through. It is super rushed, and I was hoping for more time to get to know the characters, but it was a decent read and I'm grading it a B-.
My only caution is that there are a few subtle hints to adult situations.
Trackgeek- A fun light read. The plot is a little bit predictable at time But a nice quick read. B.
