Cat Starr's life is no fairy tale. When her mother goes on a NASA mission, Cat is shipped off to live with her father and bratty stepsister, Olivia, and horrid younger brother, Geoffrey, aka Barf Bucket.

When Cat finally can't take it anymore, she places a very long distance call to her mother in space. Next thing she knows, her Great Aunt Abyssinia (who also happens to be her rather inept fairy godmother) comes to town. So when toads start appearing every time Cat talks and Olivia gets flowers and gems when she opens her mouth, Cat is more than happy to keep quiet. But Olivia makes the mistake of showing off and before you can say "once upon a time," Geoffrey is kidnapped by jewel thieves hoping to to exchange him for the jewel-spouting Olivia--while Cat is taken by a government agency to a secret lab in Area 51 so that they can perform experiments on her.

Cat has got to find a way to rescue Geoffrey, protect Olivia, and get rid of all these toads! But is this one story that just won't end happily ever after?

Industry Reviews

"A light-hearted read, sure to entertain no matter what your taste--flowery or toad-ally gross."--Yankton Daily Press and Dakotan "Fans of Frederick's The Mother-Daughter Book Club should thoroughly enjoy this modern version of an old fairy tale." --Library Media Connection "Recommended for fans of pure wackiness." ---Booklist "For fans of fantasy and fairy tales, this is a gem."-School Library Journal "In this enjoyable twist on a Charles Perrault fairy tale . . . Frederick keeps readers entertained with an action-packed, zany plot and an even wackier cast." --The Horn Book Magazine
