2.5 stars, though I could see a younger audience rating it higher. A lightly humorous story about the seventh princess in the family, whose grumpy fairy godmother gives her the gift of being ordinary. As a result, she grows to feel inadequate and dull, outshone and overshadowed by her exceptional sisters. When she is the only princess not engaged, her mother decides to hire a dragon to kidnap her, which should attract would-be heroes to rescue and marry her. But she'll have none of that, and soon escapes to find her fairy godmother and ask her to remove her 'gift'.
A comfortably standard story of discovering your inner virtues. The dragon and the fairy godmother were funny in their complete contrast to fantasy stereotypes, though they played relatively minor parts. The two little villain familiars, though, I found mildly annoying. Not a bad standalone read for grade-schoolers or middle-schoolers, but older readers might feel too "I've seen this before" to enjoy it as much.

Princess Basil goes off on a quest to become less ordinary and meets a whole host of interesting characters along the way. She makes friends, has plenty of adventures and learns that she doesn't need a fairy to make her courageous; she had it in her all along.
This book was an exciting adventure for all ages with a fun art style. The characters were well written and likeable; my favourite was Frederick the dragon who's into historic preservation.

Great reminder that labels can hold us back from finding our true potential. Easy read with two very likable characters.

A solid little story with cute art! The message was a little buried, but it was good when you could find it.
