So I bought this for my ereader, thinking that "well, he's alex flinn and i really enjoy his novels." i also thought that it would only be one fairy tale within the novel. i was wrong about both of these assumptions.
i loved this book ! not just enjoyed, loved. it was so much more full than his other novels : full of characters and different tales and everything else you could possibly thing of. it wasn't just one fairy tale, or two but at least four, if i remember correctly. the characters were more in depth and you could find yourself relating and caring more about these characters than those of his other novels such as beastly or a kiss in time, which is saying something because the characters in both of those novels are very lovable.
overall, this novel was my favourite of the alex flinn collection of fairy tales. i'd recommend it to anyone.

First, a correction to the precious reviewer, Alex Flinn is a female! Any who, I first was introduced to Flinn, by finding the playaway version of Beastly and I must say I'm not big on audio books, but this one was brilliant! I picked up Cloaked and really didn't believe I was going to much enjoy it, so I held it for about a week and out of boredom and lack of anything else, picked it up! Boy am I glad that I did! It had enough charm and mystique to revert to my fairytale believing years! It made me yearn for some goos old spells and curses! It was enchanting! I read this book straight through, while walking through parking lots, eating dinner, I disnt put it down until the very end. I hung o to every morsal that she was feeding me and found myself craving more! Thankfully, I also had checked out A Kiss In Time! This may be in the youth section, but believe me it is a captivating story for any age! This and a Kiss in Time would be excellent movies! For once in a long time I could visualize everything in my head, thanks to Flinn's perfection with painting a picture with words!

The pace is almost too frantic in places.

Cute, Funny, and Entertaining read. It was a retelling of several fairy tales rolled into one short book. Again Alex writes of people transformed into animals by an evil witch. Jhonny who is who fixes shoes in a big Florida hotel is given a quest by a Princess who is staying at the hotel. Her brother has been turned into a frog and now no one can find him.

So with a cloak that will take him anywhere he wants he sets out to find the frog prince only he's not the only one looking for him.

A quick (I read it in 3 hours), enjoyable, playful read. I love the elements of various fairy tales used throughout.

I'd recommend this for the younger teen crowd, maybe even the pre-teen crowd.
