I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this series about Kayla and Fredrick aka Frog. She’s a popular girl in school, junior class president, volleyball player, debate team member and overall nice person. Frog is a dorky skinny geek who always is getting bullied. When Kayla and Frog are paired tiger together for project, they start to develop a friendship. But when he reveals they were friends before, Kayla racks her brain for memories. The series is about Fredrick learning who he really is and why he’s been hidden fit so long and his Kayla makes him happy. Their lives are woven together from childhood and into their future.

Frederick Vonnegan is bullied and called Frog by his high school classmates because he has abnormally large eyes, is tall and lanky, and has a lot of acne. Frog isn’t happy when he gets partnered with Kayla Morrison, the girl he’s had a crush on for 12 years. It’s better to dream about the beautiful Kayla because she’s way out of his league. But how does Kayla feel about Frog? Note: This story ends on a cliffhanger.
Fun, sweet, drama-filled, and intriguing! Prince of Gulbrania is an interesting retelling of the Frog Prince.
It takes a strong resilient type of person to go through what Frederick is in high school. Kayla is having a rough time as well of her own. What with having to deal with her dad being in prison and going through assault with being rescued by Frog and rebuilding their relationship from younger years. I am excited to see what the 2nd book will bring in this retelling.

This has to be one of the best retellings of The Frog Prince that I have ever read! Set against the backdrop of a high school where the most popular kids, the jocks and the cheerleaders of course, sure do have a lock on Bullying Tactics 101. These kids are awful to Frog/Frederick who unknowingly, is a prince in disguise, and he doesn’t even know it. This is just the beginning of Frog’s story that ends in a cliffhanger and yes he does have a love interest in Kayla their junior class president and homecoming princess. She is definitely a sweetheart…and l really am enjoying their story. So until the next installment….

I love the Frog Prince and I have read a few retelling recently, a few of them I absolutely loved. I will have to include this one as well because it was very enjoyable. The original story is awesome but this one adds so much to the story, it is worth the read. Love the characters and I love the story!

They call him Frog and he is the most picked on kid in high school. He lives with his mom who is always going on trips leaving him alone. This is the first book in the Gulbrania series and is action adventure with a sweet romance that is geared towards teens and young adults. Things begin to change when he is paired up with Kayla, the most popular girl. Their friendship grows and he gains some confidence. Things come to a head when a series of strange events happen to him and his Mom gets scared.
This is the first book in the Gulbrania series and is action adventure with a sweet romance that is geared towards teens and young adults. This is a wonderful book full of great characters. The characters are not only interesting but full of personality that engages the reader in the story. It was interesting to see how the characters responded to the events in their lives. The book is at a good pace and full of creative events and situations you would find in a typical high school. The writing is well done and suitable for the target audience. The storyline was easy to read and hard to put down. I read it in one sitting. This is a great start to a series as it peeks the reader’s interest and I look forward to reading the next book in the series.

Frog is a modern day retelling of The Frog Prince with some high school twists. I like that it took on bullying and in the end the one being bullied gets the win. This is a well written and original story with great characters. I look forward to reading the next book in the Prince of Gulbrania series.
