The Fairy's Mistake/The Princess Test

The book pairs "The Fairy's Mistake," where a misguided fairy's curse causes a girl's words to tumble out as diamonds and rubies, with "The Princess Test," in which a girl transformed into a toad must win her prince's heart despite the spell. Both tales unfold in a whimsical kingdom where magical mishaps force the characters to solve riddles, challenge royal expectations, and seek their own happy endings. Written by Newbery Honor author Gail Carson Levine, the stories offer fresh spins on classic fairy-tale motifs for middle-grade readers.
