The Princess Who Saved Herself by Greg Pak
5.0
This book is fantabulous. Wonderiforous. Splendimarvelous. Any other made-up word that means "awesome" that you want to use.
It's a classic children's story, except the Princess saves herself, and some people who live nearby, instead of relying on a boy to do everything for her. It gives girls agency and a vested interest in the story. The art is gorgeous. The story beats are fun. The concept is deserving of a smile. Who doesn't want to live in a castle by themselves and play guitar and eat cake with their pet snake? The story is all sorts of fun, and I dare you to not crack a grin while reading it. It is based on a song by Jonathan Coulton, geek rocker extraordinaire, and lovingly brought to artistic life by Greg Pak.
Recommended for: the young at heart.
