The book is about twin sisters, Rosella and Myrtle. Rosella is very knd and good, but her sister is mean and nasty. There was a fairy, Ethlinda, that saw Rosella coming. She changed herself into an old lady. She made herself look thirsty. Rosella gave her a drink. Then Ethelinda said, "Thank you, your kindness deserves a reward." Rosella said "you" and something funny was happening in her mouth. She spat a jewel into her hand. Then Ethelinda saw Myrtle coming. She changed into a knight. Myrtle said "Where's the old lady?" Ethelinda said, "May you get me a drink?" Myrtle said "What will I get out of it?" Ethelinda thought she was rude and mean, so she punished Myrtle. Myrtle had gross stuff coming out of her mouth.
Myrtle learns to be nice. I liked the book, it was very funny. I liked Rosella, she was nice. The illustrations were fun to look at.
I think you should read the book. If you like princess fairy tales you would probably like the book.
