After running away from home, Krystal is transported to a faraway kingdom where an evil tyrant is bent on taking the crown - and Krystal's hand in marriage. But when she falls in love with the rightful heir to the throne, she must make an impossible choice: sacrifice her one chance at happiness or face the destruction of an entire kingdom. The Peasant Queen is a light, easy, sweet read. The story contains a good mix of adventure and romance with a strong heroine and a little magic. This is a book I really enjoyed and can easily recommend to readers of all ages, especially those who enjoy fairy tales. I was summarizing the book to my husband who commented it sound a lot like a Disney movie. Also reminded me a little of The Princess Bride.
Lovers of Shannon Hale's Goose Girls series are sure to enjoy this book. I wish the ending hadn't wrapped up quite so quickly and there was one other plot point that I felt wasn't adequately explained but still a wonderful story I would recommend.

This sounds like a light, fun read. It seems like one of those books that you read when you need a break from all of the heavy stuff.
Thanks for a lovely review of what seems like a fun read. Yes, it does parallel a Disney movie, but sometimes this is good, very good.
There is a large part of the teen reading group that is often overlooked in much of what has come out lately. They don't want the darker, more graphic fantasies and paranormals. There is a market for good clean adventures and this sounds like it is just right.
