![]() ![]() There's also a guy who's super cute, even in a dorky dwarf costume-if only Ainsley could get Prince Handsome to stop babbling about himself long enough for her to say more than 'hi' to the cute dwarf! But once the cruise starts, things start to go wrong: the laundry turns pink, the kitchen runs out of food, the guy playing the Pig King is always in Ainsley's hair, and her mom expects her to be in a hundred places all at once. Review: Once Upon a Cruise by Anna Staniszewski. A humorous tale where a bold and spunky girl ends up the one saving. ![]() ![]() Things aren't all bad-it's good to see her mom acting confident again after the divorce, and she's learning a lot about obscure German fairy tales and how to fold towels into entertaining shapes for little kids (um, yay?). She was a Writer-in-Residence at the Boston Public Library and a winner of the PEN New England Susan P. Ainsley never wanted to spend her summer on a fairy tale cruise-especially since, instead of lounging by the pool, she's running around the ship doing favor after favor for her cruise director mom. Anna Staniszewski is the talented and prolific author of over a dozen books for young readers, ranging from the novels Once Upon a Cruise and The Dirt Diary series, to picture books such as Dogosaurus Rex and Power Down, Little Robot. ![]()
