Goose Chase by Patrice Kindl
It starts when Alexandria, a poor, plain goose girl, offers her own bread and water to a hungry old woman-who just happens to be a witch in disguise. Poof Alexandria is suddenly heartstoppingly beautiful. Her hair rains down gold dust, and the tears she sheds turn to diamonds. Soon a prince and a king are fighting for her hand, and they've locked her in a tower to keep her safe. How Alexandria wishes she was a goose girl again Clearly the only thing to do is escape-which is when her problems really begin Patrice Kindl's inimitable voice and craft make this take on the classic fairy tale extraordinary-and extraordinarily hilarious.A delightful, witty fairy-tale spoof. . . Kindl's humor, the strong characterizations, and vibrant action give the story wings. (Booklist, starred review)
