The Wasp Queen is a wonderful little story that will easily fit in with classic fairytales. In this tale, a rude woman is cursed into the form of a wasp. Her only way out is to sting someone else and take over their body... so of course she goes after the most powerful woman in the land, the queen. The princess and her loving dog can instantly tell that something is wrong, but can they find the truth and reverse the curse before it's too late?

I found this to be a delight to read. It's a fun little story with elements of magic and a nice moral, like classic fairytales tend to have. A varied cast of characters help bring depth to the story. Quick and easy read. Would absolutely recommend. ( )

The Wasp Queen by Julie Stielstra is a short intriguing fantasy story with magic and a royal kingdom. The tale follows Vespasia Marchand, a spoiled rich lady who always gets her way, but meets her match when she is transformed into a wasp and then becomes queen switch bodies with the real queen. I found the story line perfect for children since the problem was solved quite simply. I look forward to more stories from this author. I received a copy of this book from LibraryThing’s Early Reviewers program. ( )
