Gustav, Frederic, Duncan and Liam are the princes in the Rapunzel, Cinderella, Snow White and Sleeping Beauty stories respectively. They all feel like they have been mistreated by the bards who didn't even include their names in their stories, but called them collectively Prince Charming. Also, none of their relationships with their princesses have turned out "happily ever after." Desperate to save face, they band together to save Ella who has been captured by Rapunzel's witch. As they pursue their quest to be heroes, they encounter one (often hilarious) obstacle after another.This is not a new book, but I kept seeing it come up on suggested lists so I decided I needed to read it for myself. I am so glad I did. It is a total delight. Each of the princes has a different personality, and their interactions are so funny. Also, it is refreshing to read a "strong guy" book for once, instead of a "strong girl" book. I loved all the male bonding and macho bro love. If you decide to read this one I recommend the recorded book version. The voice actor is amazing and so funny. (2012, 438 p.)
