"You see, I don't believe that libraries should be drab places where people sit in silence, and that's been the main reason for our policy of employing wild animals as librarians."--Monty Python

STAFF PICKS -- ENCHANTED, BY ALETHEA KONTIS

Karyn's pick is Enchanted, by Alethea Kontis...

About the book:

It isn't easy being the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week.  Sunday's only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true.

When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends.  Soon that friendship deepens into something magical.  One night Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown price of Arilland -- and a man Sunday's family despises.

The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was.  But Sunday is not so easy to woo.  How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction for this prince she barely knows?  And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past -- and hers?

Karyn says:  A magical blending of all your favorite fairy tales into one story.  Full of interesting characters and lush settings.  This award-winning novel will have you up late to finish it. (A Young Adult novel.)
