* First in a new series *
What would you do if you woke up in a different place??? Cinderella and Belle accidentally switch places. Cinderella finds herself in the castle of a beast while Belle finds herself stranded in Cinderella's house.For Cinderella, she's allowed more freedom than she's had in years. There's no need to be the maid or the cook. At first, she's excited to be anywhere else. But then she learns about the Beast and the curse.Belle is hoping to save her father's company by entering a royal competition. But after she ended up in Ella's house, her magical locket is stolen. Belle can't leave the house without her mother's locket.How are both girls going to escape?
My Thoughts: I'm a sucker for Cinderella stories and Belle stories - so this book was right up my alley. What a clever idea to have them switch places. I love that each of the stories kept elements from their stories, but they also changed the story. I loved the addition of the royal competition in Belle's story. I enjoyed her moments with Ella's stepsister Marie. I love how each other stories ended. I'm so looking forward to the next Princesses (Sleeping Beauty and Snow White) who swap places!
Cover Thoughts: Cute

This sounds great fun and I'm sure it will be a hit with young readers! I'll watch out for it myself (I like fairy tale retellings if done well too!) Thanks for sharing!
What an adorable cover and premise. Swapping princesses, just love it. Happy MMGM
This sounds like a great story for those of us who love fairy tales. Thanks for sharing it for our first MMGM review of 2025.
I enjoyed this one, too. I could see the switching places plot extend to many different characters. Thanks for featuring your review on this week's MMGM.
