The Stolen Kingdom - Bethany Atazadeh

★★★★☆

I thought I’d know how this Aladdin story would go, but NOPE. This book breathes new life into the classic tale.

While fleeing and arranged marriage, Princess Ari finds herself in the company of thieves … and they’re planning their biggest heist yet. But Ari has her own agenda, and it involves her secret.

A princess with a secret ability, a master thief and his crew, a glass lamp, and a rare magical race, The Stolen Kingdom puts a new spin on the Aladdin fairytale. Think you can predict the plot because you grew up with Disney? Wrong. And it’s great!

Fast paced and an easy read, this clean fantasy read is perfect for the teen/young adult audience.

4/5 would recommend
