Overview

Would if all the dolls, ponies, sweets, and dresses could never satisfy a spoiled young girl? What's worse, would if the girl's frown shook the world around her?

In this unforgettable fairy tale, a young girl who has always gotten everything she's ever wanted by her parents must go on a journey to discover that what she wants does not always lead to joy. 

Filled with wonder, enchantment, and timeless truth, The Girl Whose Frown Shook the Ground by Melody Trowell invites readers into a breathtaking journey of transformation, gratitude, and redemption. When a young girl is swept into a magical world unlike anything she has ever known, she must discover the life-changing lessons that could help not only her—but the brokenness her anger left behind.

But deep within the lessons lies a mysterious invitation to something much greater. It is a lesson families will desire to read over and over again!

Written in a rich, classical storytelling style reminiscent of beloved fairy tales like George MacDonald, this captivating chapter book inspires children and adults alike to reflect on kindness, contentment, humility, and what it means to accept help.

Perfect for readers ages 7–10, families who treasure meaningful read-alouds, and anyone who longs for stories filled with beauty, truth, and goodness.
