From Booklist
A girl who believes she is
really a princess isn''t a new premise in children''s literature, so
it''s refreshing to find a very real little girl as our protagonist,
especially given a title that evokes an expectation of a more
traditionally froufrou young royal. Geraldine Gerry just knows
she is a princess and narrates the events of her day, offering
commentary about her many doubters: “My brother, Stewart, says
princesses don''t wear sneakers and don''t have scabby knees.”

內容簡介:
While her friends and family may not believe in fairies,
Geraldine knows, deep down, that she is a VERY fairy princess. From
morning to night, Gerry does everything that fairy princesses do:
she dresses in her royal attire, practices her flying skills, and
she is always on the lookout for problems to solve. But it isn''t
all twirls and tiaras - as every fairy princess knows, dirty
fingernails and scabby knees are just the price you pay for a
perfect day!
