Review:

Moxie's Problem is set in Camelot but not the regular Camelot, this is a outside the box one with witches, sorcerers, football and gasp an homely self centered princess named Moxie. This is a sort of poke fun type of novel set in Camelot with a bunch of characters to get to know. I did find that a bit confusing at first. I really enjoyed the three apprentice knights - Percivale, Borrs and Gareth. Each of these young men have a hobby or like, cooking, accounting, drawing. They are a great team of knights.

Moxie is a spoiled princess but not in the sense that her father has given her love and everything she could want. He has put her away in her own area of the castle with her own maids and servants. She is self centered as she feels she is noble-born and should get her way. After an adventure with the three knights Moxie feels she needs something in her life to keep her busy, she decides she will be Queen and never get married.

Some times this novel reminded me of a Harry Potter theme. The story jumps around between the characters as we follow them on wacky adventures. I do wish we had more Moxie in it as I felt she wasn't the main focus but the three knights were.

I give this book a 3.5 stars out of 5 and will continue to on to Moxie's Decision.
