Reviews
...While Lemony Snicket fans may be drawn to this book in search of yet another tale of orphan woe, they'll find a coming of age story told with insight and humor. ...Phoebe's journey is much more than a change of scenery -- it's a change of heart. Recommended. LIBRARY TALK
This brief, lighter-than-air tale is both amusing and engaging... Fluffy and fun, with just the right touch of message. KIRKUS
Phoebe's first-person narrative carries the farce of the Cinderella-in-reverse scenario. BOOKLIST
The Bean King's Daughter is filled with exaggeration and middle-grade humor, and gently demonstrates that stepmothers can be all right if you give them a chance. SPECTRUM HOME AND SCHOOL NETWORK
Follow Phoebe as she realizes that [her stepmother] is not the enemy and that it is important to have caring friends and family. CHILDHOOD EDUCATION
Phoebe is very good at getting rid of wicked stepmothers. ARIZONA DAILY STAR
