"With inviting illustrations and a relatable story line, this tender tale of friendship and identity is sure to delight even readers who aren't fans of the graphic novel format."--School Library Journal, starred review "It's all but certain to deliver grins, gasps, and some happy tears." --Publisher Weekly, starred review "A visual feast, filled with exuberant charm and delightful characters." --VOYA "For kids who never found a Disney princess costume to fit--literally or figuratively--Wang offers a second chance to claim a fairy tale of one's own. Readers new, or resistant, to graphic novels will also discover magic here in Wang's visual storytelling." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
