Flecks from Alice in Wonderland, Hansel and Gretel, Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Beauty and the Beast sparkle across the pages of this graphic novel like antique glitter." New York Times "This rollicking tale of an insecure girl finding her strength and breaking from tradition is another triumph for Brosgol." --Publishers Weekly, starred review"In a story bolstered by a wonderful cast, an otherworldly setting, and poignantly accessible feelings, Brosgol once again captures magic, menace, and humanity." -Booklist, starred review "Complex characters, twists and turns, and beautiful artwork blend harmoniously for a perfect read that will jump-start the -imagination." -School Library Journal, starred review "A funny and fast-paced feminist adventure masterfully told through the comics medium." -Horn Book Magazine, starred review"Few writers can communicate the teenage mind as astutely or with such wit as Vera.

Nothing plain about it." --LeUyen Pham "A pride-filled treatise and a charming riff on fairy tales." --Kirkus "Janes open, expressive face easily carries the story through wordless sections, and her sharp honesty is immediately endearing." -Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books (BCCB) Promotional From Eisner Award winner Vera Brosgol comes an instant classic about courage, confidence, and inner beauty.
