I could have sworn I read another book just like Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George. The characters and story are wonderfully orchestrated, but it seems so similar to a book I’ve previously read (I can’t remember what it’s called, so if you know which book I’m talking about, please let me know.) Otherwise, it’s a wonderful read.
Nutshell: The twelve princesses’ shoes are mysteriously worn through each morning and yet they don’t seem to leave the castle. At his wits' end, the king offers a prize to the man who can discover why this happens and where they go each night.

The original story is a German fairy tale originally published by the Brothers Grimm in 1812 and called "The Twelve Dancing Princesses". If that's not what you are remembering, you can find names of similar books listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Twelve_Dancing_Princesses
