Editorial Review:

A modern-day fairytale--a major motion picture starring Christina Ricci, Catherine O'Hara, James McAvoy, and Reese Witherspoon.
 
Penelope Wilhern has everything a girl could want: A wealthy, socialite family, an enchanted bedroom and some of the coolest clothes around.  There is only one problem: She was born into a cursed family and has the face of a pig. 
Hidden away from the world, Penelope now finds herself subjected to a string of snobby, blue-blooded bachelors in a desperate attempt to find her a husband in order to break the curse.  Though she yearns for something greater, what?s a girl to do when faced with a determined mother and her matchmaking sidekick?  Hoping to snap a photo of the mysterious girl, mischievous tabloid reporter Lemon hires down-on-his-luck Max to pose as a prospective suitor and infiltrate the family.  But when Max finds himself truly drawn to Penelope, he can?t bring himself to expose and disappoint her, so he just disappears.  Fed up with this latest betrayal and determined to live life on her own terms, Penelope decides to break free from her family and go out into the world in search of adventure.  Hiding her true identity with a scarf, Penelope discovers a wondrous world where freedom opens her eyes to possibilities she never knew existed.  Making new friends along the way, she discovers happiness in the most unexpected places.

Penelope Reviews:
A Wonderful Book 5 Star Review
2009-09-05 - I loved Penelope, it's been a good book to have. I saw the movie before I read the book, but I loved the book best. I have ways loved fairy talea and stuff like that. When I picked up the book I knew it would be sooo much better than the movie.

Penelope 4 Star Review
2008-12-08 - Penelope

Penelope has hidden in the shadows for too long. She is different from all of the other kids because of a curse passed on for generations through her family. The idea is that she has to get married to break the curse of her pig-shaped face. Penelope can't find anyone to marry her. She is tired of being locked away in her home and is breaking loose from her parents. As you go along with Penelope on an epic adventure you will discover how a young adult takes in the present-day world. I enjoyed this story a lot and can't wait to read it again. I loved how the author intertwined a fairytale with an everyday book. I think anyone would enjoy the story of Penelope and her "once upon a time" life.


Great! 5 Star Review

its worth the read.

Fantastic Read. 5 Star Review
2008-02-23 - It's clear that the target age for this book is tweens/early teens, but I'm in my late teens and absolutely loved it. I read lots of really "deep" and detailed/intricate books, and this one was a welcome break from that. The story is very light hearted yet wonderful all the same. I LOVE this book! :D
