Princess Princess Ever After




     The first self-selected book I read is called Princess Princess Ever After, by Katie O'Neill. I really like this book, because it was wrote in a comic cook form. The illustration are very colorful which made the book stand out. This story is about one princess being saved by another princess from her tower prison. Neither one of them didn't think they were going to become very good friends, but by the end of the book, they were very good friends. Throughout their adventure, they realized that they brought the best person out of each other. They had to work together in order to defeat the enemy that wanted to get  rid of princess Sadie forever.

       I think this is a good book for young adults to read because it sends a clear message of being yourself, and to be whoever you desire to be. In this story both princesses would rather be anything but a princess.This book also sends a message that its okay to be different, as we all know that princesses are beautiful, skinny, with long beautiful hair. But in this story princess Sadie is "big-boned" with blonde hair, and princess Amira is dark-skinned with her hair into a mo-hawk (unusual). The author had a very interesting twist to this story, nothing like any other princess story. As princess Sadie and princess Amira faced many challenges with each other, they also fell in love and decided to marry one another. This show young adults that its okay to love whoever your heart desire to be with. This book has great themes and messages, bright and clear illustrations, and its easy to read. This is why I would recommend this book to young adults.

  1. Your comment about these princesses being depicted as not the "standard" ideal princess, made me more interested in knowing more. Also, the cute bubbly illustrations make the book more directed towards young adult readers, yet the storyline sounds interesting to me as an adult.
