Princeless Volume 1: Save Yourself by Jeremy Whitley

5.0

---

We took this one on vacation and all of the kids (aged 7-11, boys and girls) enjoyed it! I was excited to finally have it to myself when we got home so I could see what they were all talking about. And they were right, this is so much fun! I loved that all of the kids in the book threw typical gender roles right out the window and I loved how they addressed sexism in fantasy books in a fun way. It's the kind of book I want both my son and daughter to read. I want both of them to see that women can be strong and heroes and men can be gentle and smart. We've already put the rest of the series on hold at the library and can't wait to read more!

If you're an adult and a fan of Rat Queens, it's almost like a kid-appropriate version of that. Mixed with some Lumberjanes and fairytales.
