Princeless, Vol. 1: Save Yourself by Jeremy Whitley

4.0

Awesome GN for MS-aged kiddos (even upper elementary; there's swordfighting but not a ton of gore, cruelty but nothing unconscionable, and scary-looking monsters who aren't ALL scary #notallmonsters) that combats the Disney princess tropes our society puts so much stock in. Good to start a conversation about in conjunction with reading some original fairy tales by Andersen, Perrault, & the Brothers Grimm to show that not all fairy tales got a gender stereotype makeover by Walt Disney in the 20th century.
