Princess Princess: Ever After by Katie O'Neill

Princess Princess: Ever After

by Katie O'Neill

When the heroic princess Amira rescues the kind-hearted
princess Sadie from her tower prison, neither expects to find a true friend in
the bargain. Yet as they adventure across the kingdom, they discover that they
bring out the very best in the other person. They'll need to join forces and use
all the know-how, kindness, and bravery they have in order to defeat their
greatest foe yet: a jealous sorceress, who wants to get rid of Sadie once and
for all. Join Sadie and Amira, two very different princesses with very different
strengths, on their journey to figure out what “happily ever after”
really means-and how they can find it with each other.

This book is so precious!! If I got it as a child, I think it would have shaped my life so differently ... at least ... I would have realized I was a lesbian much earlier and saved myself SO much drama/sadness/inner turmoil/etc..

In summary: this book is SO needed right now for children, and yet is so gentle and heartwarming, not just on LGBT fronts (weight issues, confidence, lashing out at others due to self confidence, etc.).

Book content warnings:
abuse (bullying)

The Knight Amira stands foot at Princess Sadie's tower, ready to rescue her.
But nothing is really as it seems. None of the other princes have been able to rescue Sadie before; why is that? And why is Amira so heck-bent on being a knight?

The story (and art) is very cute, very fitting for this kind of story, and I just find myself wanting more and more from this author. I'll also look up more from this publisher. I'm in love with it!
