Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Princess Power #1
Suzanne Williams · 2009
70/100
👍 Worth It
Lysandra and her friends are the kind of princesses who actually do things, and the early chapter-book format makes this a solid stepping stone for young readers ready to leave picture books behind. The subverted fairy tale premise is fun without being preachy, and a series format means there's more to come if kids connect with these characters.
