The sorceress sets off from her castle with a plan to turn young princes and princesses into frogs and then blackmail their families into paying her to change them back. Meanwhile, under the guidance of a chatty bat, sweet-natured Gracie steals away from her unhappy home and travels to the Ancient Crones’s house to seek a new life. Her malicious stepsister angrily follows after, but gives up the pursuit when she comes across the hapless Lady Lamorna. The two form an unlikely partnership to pull off the sorceress’s scheme. Soon after, Marcus sees Foyce transform his twin brother and other young royals into frogs. It’s up to Gracie, with the assistance of Marcus and other new friends, to take on the frightening Foyce and set things right. Topics Fairy tales. Sorcery. Orphans. Magic. Mythical creatures.
