Book of a Thousand Words

I finished Shannon Hale's, Book of a Thousand Words today and loved it! It was based on a Brother's Grimm fairy tale called "Maid Maleen". The story was familiar to me because my Mom read me those fairytales as a child. Although it wasn't Hale's typical writing it was still enjoyable and I would recommend reading it. Next on the reading list, Tale of Despereaux.
