That said, I do think there was a good amount of character development and world building that’s not overwhelming for the age group this is meant for. I wasn’t expecting a super detailed and deep as this is a story aimed for kids middle school age and younger. While most of the characters are one dimensional, we do see some character development for Basil and her new friend, Hudson. You just have to find what makes you feel great and shine. However, what people see doesn’t define you and you’re just as special as anyone else. I think sends a great message to kids because it’s real easy to feel left out, ordinary, and even dumb. However, it turns out that being ordinary is not such a bad thing because Basil holds her fate in her hands instead of having it chosen for her. This is such a sweet story about a princess who is ordinary and feels left out and looked over. Everything changes when Basil decides to hunt down the fairy who blessed her with being ordinary, leading her on a quest to become extraordinary. Her family have tried everything they could think of to spruce her up, but she always ends up feeling useless and ignored. Then there’s Basil, who feels cursed because she was doomed to receive a blessing from a grouchy fairy. Whether it’s beauty, music, dancing, or humor, they each have something that draws people in. Each of Princess Basil’s sisters were blessed with extraordinary talents at birth by fairies.
