This sounds like a great fairy tale, complete with a love story. Nadira sounds like a great heroine. Thanks for the review, sursangeet.

Nadira is a Fairy Tale Story book about a girl being chased by four boys with determined faces. She kept on running and focusing on the speed. She won the run, how amazing! While the boys gasped for air as they reached to the finish. There was an Old Witch in the forest, as Nadira kept on running. Her dad was very protected of her. He instructed her to be strong and courageous. She was the only child of her parents. Nadia was different from the other kids in the forest.She wanted to help out her parents, but they instructed to focus on herself. Her parents wanted her to do what girls would do, but Nadira wanted to do things her way instead.
In Chapter 2 was telling the story about how Nadira met Prince Jai as they went on an adventure in the forest.
A special Thanks to you author

I like books with female protagonists that can hold their own. Altogether, Nadira seems like an endearing character.

I absolutely love fairytales. I love that the main character is not the typical princess but has her own unique persona. Congrats on the book of the day. Great review.

I would love to read such book in my younger years! So adventurous and fun! All the more the shame that I, unfortunately, way too mature to find this fairy tale interesting now. Thanks for recommendations anyway, because I can use it as gift idea!

It sounds like a fairy tale, it has its witches and kings, queens, and princesses. It also has its modern touch with the princess throwing her bowl in the kitchen sink, after dinner.
It is indeed written for girls, in particular, showing them the other way to be: to rely on themselves rather than on the knight in shining armor. I do not know how the story ends, but the mother may be right in her worries, though.
Thank you for the nice review.

The themes emphasized in this fairy tale story has piqued my interest. It is safe to say that I'm part of the writer's target audience. I'll pick this one up asap, I hope I enjoy it as you did. Job well executed.

Well, I am one of those adults that love fairy tales that you mentioned! This sounds like a story everyone could enjoy. With all that is wrong with the world today, I could use a fairy tale or two! I'm with you, I enjoy stories with strong female characters, and it sounds like that is just what Nadira is! Thanks for the excellent review!

This traditional fairy tale with a charming prince, an evil witch, and a wicked queen sounds like it is a great tale with an amazing message for young women.
