It sounds like an interesting book I love that it's a fairy tale with strong female characters. Thanks for the review

The cover itself reflects the story. This story is quite different from other fairy tales which we heard and grew. The female protagonist is a strong, independent, beautiful and smart character. Which itself is inspiring breaking the myth of the society's that a girl can't do this or that. It's nice that story itself also sounds enthralling. Thanks for the wonderful Review.

Looking at the beautiful book cover I could sense beauty, charm, fairy tales and magic. Nadira seems like an extraordinary girl, full of life, adventure and she's probably stubborn like boys. After all, she's behaving like a boy, dressing up like one and contesting in the boy's competition.

I loved the way of telling the review captivating and easy to understand, attaching the premise of a strong and independent girl who finds her own way to discover herself.

Strong feminist leads are really the catch for me. This novel clearly sends a positive message of overcoming your obstacles to achieve your goals.🌸

This sounds like the perfect book for me to share with my daughter. The modern day fairy tale with the twist of a tom boy type theme is a refreshing young reader #BOTD.

Fairy tale stories are always enjoyable to listen to. This sounds like a lovely fairy tale story. Nadira seems to have an interesting character, which makes me want to read the book. Congratulations on being the BOTD. Thank you for the exciting review.

The story is definitely breaking the stereotype, spreading a positive message among our young readers.
The plot contains a really graphic portrayal of the protagonist, Nadira,dauntlessly fighting her way through petrifying impediments.The plot seems to be engrossing because of its realistic treatment of the character of Nadira. There are a number of dramatic events in the novel to add to its interest.Thanks a tonne for the insightful review, you have encouraged me to read this book.

This book sounds interesting as it displays that women are no less than men in every aspect. It also shows the importance of true friendship, love and realising your responsibilities towards your people.

You know sometimes a story is lovely and intreating not because the plot is so mind bogling or completely new ans different. It may just be the choice of words or the description of the situations but just the same Cinderella kind of romance. Good work.

Although I feel that I may have outgrown books like this, I absolutely love the strong female characters. In this day and age I think it's an important lesson to teach children, especially young girls, that they don't need a prince to save them. Thanks for an amazing review!

I always love books with a strong female protagonist! Even though this is a kid's story, I am still excited to check it out! Great review!
