Tweens, especially those with a fairy tale fetish, will devour Ainsley's story." - Children's Literature"As always, Staniszewski provides a deft mix of comedy and sensitive, deeper themes, making her book not only entertaining, but one that offers wisdom. Praise for Once Upon a Cruise:"An action-packed week with a bit of real-life fairy tale and a taste of happily ever after thrown in for good measure.
