From School Library Journal Gr 9 Up—Four high school Queen Bees decide to work as costumed princesses at a theme park the summer before senior year. They are preparing themselves for life after graduation. Before summer ends, they each realize that the dreams they had aren't going to happen as planned. Courtney tried out for the college cheerleading squad and didn't make the team. Amber aspires to be a model, but is turned off by the industry's superficiality. Tiffany is an actress and wants to go to Europe to meet foreign men. Michelle, a smart but lazy student, didn't get into any of the schools to which she applied. From the start, readers might find it difficult to empathize with the unlikable protagonists. However, the characters show some growth throughout the novel as their dreams change. Too many competing plot points fold together, making the narrative feel convoluted and difficult to follow. Readers might have to turn to the creator's webcomic to find resolution to the open-ended conclusion. VERDICT This title falls short of other works in this format.—Caitlin Wilson, Brooklyn Public Library

Cole Great fun with surprising twists - what could have been a simple coming-of-age story combines surprising depth and wit with characters the author puts so much love into that you can't help but love them too. Almost anything could be spoilery, but there are fights and romance and drama of every sort. Loved it.

The premise of going in to the lives of theme park princesses and their lives both inside and outside the park seemed interesting to me. But it ends there. We are given four teenage girls as our main protagonists. They are your basic stock popular girls archetype that appears to have been influenced by how most Tinder men think women are. They aren't pleasant, they act as though everyone was bellow them, they're very shallow, and as characters, very bland. It's one thing if you are dealing with issues and throughout the course of the story, these girls change and become better people. They never do. About the closest thing to actual character development is that two of the protagonists are revealed to be lesbians and most of the characters find a few new interests. These are the characters we are supposed to cheer for and want to see them be successful. But because they are so horrible, there isn't much to cheer for. They treat everyone from their co-workers, to other students, to their *boss* like dirt. The only thing that matters to them is themselves. Actually, the thought that did run through my head is that the girls are each interchangeable Mary Sues. You could swap one girl for another and you wouldn't have noticed the difference. But that's enough about our awful protagonists. How about the plot? The plot isn't much better.Basically, our resident Mean Girls wannabes work at a Disneyland-esque theme park where they portray princesses from various fairytales. A local gang takes over the park and the girls kick their asses and win back the park. Sounds simple enough. But the plot was messed up so badly with multiple missed opportunities that it becomes almost as shallow as the girls themselves. The reason why the girls want protect the park is because they have nothing else going on in their lives (one girl can't get in to college, another can't become a fashion model, another can't become an actress, and another can't get her cheerleading scholarship) and they like the idea of being big fish in a small pond. The first missed opportunity would have been exploring this concept. The girls can't get what they want because the real world doesn't always play fair so they would have to adapt and figure out how to live in the real world. Instead, what we get is that at the end of the story, all girls pretty much get what they want in the end with a few exceptions. Another missed opportunity would have been watching these girls fall from grace and having to befriend and make good with everyone they have belittled. That doesn't really happen either or at least not with sincerity. You are always stuck with the feeling even after the story is over that the girls will go right back to pushing everyone around like... well.... princesses. But anyways, I'm getting side tracked here. Moving on, we discover that there have been muggings happening around the park. Apparently, they have been happening for quite some time and the girls have never even noticed it until recently. This makes it hard for me to believe because in the story, the theme park looks relatively small and sparsely populated. They should have noticed or heard *something.* Not sure this was the best choice to take in storytelling. But anyways, I think some of the worst comes just after the half way point where it's revealed in a ton of exposition that the gang trying to take over the park is being controlled by the mayor because he wants the land to build a mall. This scene was so out of the blue! There was nothing really there to predict this and the mayor just seems to have been tossed in for the sake of plot. (Also, the fact that he looks like TV character from The Brave Little Toaster didn't make me take him all that seriously!)So the girls, feeling like that they will loss their theme park, decide to try to fix up the park and to defend it from the gang. It goes well for a short time until the gang gets way too large and powerful and they try to recruit the other park workers (often referred to as "nerds.") to try and help them. But even in asking for help, the girls can't help but to be condescending. They want to keep this big fish in a small pond thing going for them and view the theme park as their "kingdom." The "nerds" have a realistic view of their jobs at the park and they know that these jobs are temporary in nature, minimum wage, and most certainly not the best. At this point, I really can't see much of a reason why the other park workers would help the girls in the first place. They're rude, nasty, and their only reason for helping the park in the first place is for their own personal gain. There's really nothing there that would make anyone want to help these girls at all. But for almost no reason, the "nerds" ally themselves with the girls and decide to help them out. They set up an elaborate plan to trap and stop the gang for good... while open to the public. The public, being oblivious to everything, think this whole thing is a huge publicity stunt. One of the girls spot the gang leader and instead of a cool showdown, she just talks to him. That's all she does - talks to him. She convinces him to call off his gang and in MORE exposition, the gang leader says that he doesn't trust the mayor anyways which makes no sense at all. The reason why I say that was because there was NO INDICATION WHAT SO EVER that the mayor would betray them. Matter of fact, the whole time he has been rather helpful towards the gang and hasn't really done anything that would cause the gang to distrust him. So because potatoes, the gang leader gives up and calls the gang off with the exception of one gang member taking out a knife and threatening to stab one of the girls. Up until this point, the stakes didn't feel that high at all and even this didn't raise it all that much! She stomps on his foot, gets out of the way and the gang leader tackles him. So the park is saved, things work out for the girls, and everything is good again.Overall, I really just don't recommend this graphic novel. The art looks interesting, but it's never consistent about how things look. The protagonists are bland and never really develop as characters, the antagonists feel shoehorned in, and the plot is a mess full of things that never made sense and had plenty of missed opportunities. All in all, this is NOT worth your money. If you find it in your local library, you can pick it up as a hate-read. But seriously, don't waste your time on this dreck.

Four popular girls work at the local amusement park as princesses and their lives are falling apart.These are the girls that I hated in high school, popular, snarky, name-calling, rude girls - they know they are popular so they don't have to care about acting like people. So reading this graphic novel was cringe-worthy for me...and I kept thinking that these girls would become better people through their hardships Slight spoiler: they don't get much better.The story focuses on them trying to help the park because it is all they have left, and yes they become friends with the 'nerds' but it never really seemed sincere to me...The drawing was imaginative and the park looked cool, but there was some variations with the girls sizes and in some frames they looked squashed and chubby and in others taller and leaner - it was a bit weird - whichever body type they were supposed to have, I would have liked that consistency. So a three out of five for this one. It was a cute story but I didn't really like the characters.
