The fairytale princesses in Vita Murrow's Power to the Princess anthology are ready to reclaim their narratives and save the world with responsible sustainability measures!
The princesses in this straightforward collection aren't perfect but they know that sometimes you have to get your hands dirty--like Ella, Murrow's Cinderella, who wants to be the kingdom's top workers' rights activist. Belle, an undercover agent with the Fairyland police, brings the fairy who unjustly cursed Beast to justice; Zade is an innovator who keeps the Sultan on the edge of his seat with 1,001 invention pitches; and Marisha, the little mermaid, marries Melody, her princess charming, and the couple share a mission to keep the sea free from pollution. Power to the Princess, featuring a bright color palette with characters of diverse hues and features, is a timely and inspired reimagining of classic fairytales. --Breanna J.
