E.D. Baker has built a career writing fairy tale-inspired fantasy for middle grade readers. Her debut novel, The Frog Princess, published in 2002, put a twist on the classic fairy tale by telling the story from the princess’s point of view and making her the one who turns into a frog. The book launched the Tales of the Frog Princess series and caught Disney’s attention, contributing to the development of The Princess and the Frog.

Baker’s books share a common approach: take familiar fairy tale elements and rework them with humor, adventure, and resourceful young heroines. The Wide-Awake Princess series follows a princess immune to magic in a kingdom where spells are everywhere. The Fairy-Tale Matchmaker books feature a girl who pairs fairy tale characters with their happy endings. The Magic Animal Rescue series targets younger readers with stories about a girl who helps magical creatures.

Across more than thirty books, Baker has maintained a consistent audience of young readers who enjoy fairy tale worlds with active, clever protagonists. Her writing is accessible and fast-paced, designed for readers in the 8-12 age range who are ready for chapter books with magic and adventure.
