It defies gender norms, the characters are terrific, and the story was amazingly cute. I highly recommend this book and I will definitely be reading it to my son tonight! ( ) This took about ten minutes to read. As an adult, I'm charmed. And my inner child wants to have read this forty years ago - a story about princesses choosing their own stories, about two women marrying, about older bullying siblings not winning, about being okay with being yourself. The drawing style is clear, and it is easy to track what is going on - often my complaint with graphic stories is that things are unclear or dark, and this is so not a problem there. I AM IN SUCH LOVE. This was adorable and entertaining and sweet and guys Amira has a unicorn and a kick butt hair style and oh I just want more adventures of the two. -- This is a fun, engaging story about Princess Amira (who didn't want to be stuck in the typical Princess role, so when her brother was like "well what else are you going to do?" she runs off with her Unicorn to be heroic) and Princess Sadie (who's trapped in a tower, somewhat reluctantly, and suffers from low self-esteem and body conscious issues). After Amira saves Sadie (and they agree it was a good thing Amira did), they decide to go off and do heroic things. Their first heroic act? Saving a Prince who really didn't want to be a stereotypical damsel-saving Prince anyhow. There's a lot to recommend this book - the artwork is bright and cheerful, with a little bit of creepy for the villain, but overall nothing scarier then what you'd see in kid shows today. Amira has a kick-butt hairstyle and looks like the dashing hero she wants to be. Sadie is fluffy and adorable, only somewhat mollified throughout the story that Amira sees her for her, not for what she looks like. The two gradually fall in love through their combined adventures, with Amira understanding that being a fluffy Princess doesn't mean you have to be weak and Sadie understanding that strength isn't always in how well you wield a sword. The ending, in the fight against the villain who trapped Sadie in the Tower to begin with, broke my heart a little..before making me laugh because sometimes you really should be careful what you say. The total lack of judgement in this graphic novel - which is easily for 8 I'd say - is so refreshing. The only person who makes judgements is the villain and well its a villain, what do you expect? The Prince doesn't comment on Amira or Sadie after he realizes they won't comment on his choices in life, Amira doesn't think less of Sadie for wanting to be safe and secure (even if it meant hiding in a tower), Sadie doesn't comment on the fact Amira didn't want to wear dresses or get married for political strength. They even run across a giant who is rampaging and Sadie diffuses the situation without doing anything other then being herself. More graphic novels need to be available for kids - they need to see that everyone has something to contribute and being yourself doesn't always mean being labeled. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
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.
