Gr 7 Up—Essie has been living on her own as the only female in the mining settlement of Forty-Two on the frozen tundra of the planet Thanda, filling her days tinkering with drones and prize fighting. It is only when Dane, a handsome young man, mysteriously crashes near her home that Essie's true past comes to light. Princess Snow has been missing from her home planet for eight years, a fact that has led King Matthias and his evil wife to war. With less-than-subtle pressure from Dane, Essie is forced to face her past, save the galaxy from the wrath of Windsong's evil rulers, and take her birthright seat on the throne. A futuristic take on the classic Snow White tale, this fast-paced story intertwines romance with action. Unfortunately, Mia Barron's monotonous narration does the exciting plot no favors.
VERDICT This audio version is not recommended.
