Almost There


 Almost There By: Farrah Rochon

This was such an interesting take on The Princess and the Frog. I enjoyed seeing more of the dynamic of the friendship shared by Tianna and Charlotte. I also enjoyed the historical significance of life in the late 20s in New Orleans between both the varying classes and races. The character of Tianna seemed to remain fairly similar to that of the movie. But the book added more depth to the characters of Charlotte, Naveen, The Shadow man and even Luis. It also introduced a number of other characters that play an intricate role in Tianna and Naveen's story. This wasn't one of my favorite of the twisted tale series, but I still enjoyed it.
