Synopsis

Fairy Tale Survival Rule #32: If you find yourself at the mercy of a wicked witch, sing a romantic ballad and wait for your Prince Charming to save the day.

Yeah, no thanks. Dorthea is completely princed out. Sure, being the crown princess of Emerald has its perks—like Glenda Original ball gowns and Hans Christian Louboutin heels. But a forced marriage to the not-so-charming prince Kato is so not what Dorthea had in mind for her enchanted future.

Talk about unhappily ever after.

Trying to fix her prince problem by wishing on a (cursed) star royally backfires, leaving the kingdom in chaos and her parents stuck in some place called "Kansas." Now it's up to Dorthea and her prince to find the mysterious Wizard of Oz and undo the curse . . . before it releases the wickedest witch of all and spells The End for the world of Story.

Sale Alert: Amazon daily deal 04May18 for $2.99 3.75 “An ill-worded wish is worse than a curse...” Stars Spelled is pretty funny. I think you might have to be in the right mindset for it since it isn’t really a traditional fairytale retelling and most of the time it is just making fun of i......more
