Book Review: The Frog Knight by E.B. Roshan

“A frog? Really? Frogs don’t even have teeth.”

E.B. Roshan, The Frog Knight

Review:

I always enjoy reading E.B. Roshan’s comics, but seeing that this story is a retelling of The Frog Prince, I was even more excited than usual!

Sir Fergus begs the queen to allow him a chance to fight a giant frog in the kingdom. He hopes for a chance to prove himself, but instead, ends up running away. He tries to cover up what really happened with the frog, but the queen is wise to him. As a punishment for not coming to her with the truth, she turns him into a frog.

I enjoyed this one so much! I love a good tale of character growth, and overall, the story was very sweet. This also felt unique compared to the author’s other comics, which tend to have an element of sci-fi. It was a fun change of pace.

A huge thanks to the author for sending me a free digital ARC of the book to read and review!

Likes & Dislikes:

What I liked:

• Great character growth.
• Sweet side characters.
• Good moral of the story for young readers.

What I didn’t like:

• I wish we could have seen a little bit more of the giant frog.

Afterthoughts:

I hope to see more retellings in the future!
