Commentary Supposing Books I Am Princess X
Best friends, big fans, a mysterious webcomic, and a long-lost girl collide in this riveting novel, perfect for fans of both Cory Doctorow and Sarah Dessen; illustrated throughout with comics.Once upon a time, two best friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure.
Once upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her.
Once upon a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle, when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window.
Princess X?
When May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches. Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess X online. And that means that only one person could have started this phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.

This is a strange book. I'd go so far as to say it's MG, not YA, despite having teenage protagonists, because this is a novel in the vein of a lot of MG: young intrepid protagonists solving wacky mystery on their own. And it is a wacky mystery, and the motivations of the evil character are murky, and I am Princess X ultimately feels like a showpiece for child detecting in the internet age. Lots of tech references are dropped - this is a book that'll date pretty quickly, I think - and the mysteryIf this works down to 6th grade, SO dibs for booktalking in middle schools.---...and it did. Everyone said this was awesome, and everyone was right. From the first chapter, it grabbed me in a major way. I was charmed by the opening in the girl's elementary school days, (view spoiler)[ and the drop at the end of the first chapter left me genuinely stunned. It's been a long time since I've been that affected by a book, especially so right-off-the-bat. (hide spoiler)]And, it should be noted, it
✩ 4.5 Stars ✩ Holy crud-muffins this was SO GOOD! It was the epitome of serendipitous fun! :) When I accidentally stumbled upon this, I couldnt peel my eyes away. It wasnt on my radar, but those are the reads that I typically enjoy the most. The story follows a webcomic with a riddle only May can solve... and thats all Ill disclose because its definitely more fun to go into it blind! Pick this one up if youre looking for a quick fun YA murder mystery. I loved May! ♡ And I loved how the webcomic
Honestly I do not know why I grabbed it but overall I am happy I did. It was a cute little story with some art that holds your interest. I was in a hurry today on the way to my husband's doctor appointment and forgot that I finished the paperback in my purse so went in the library and grabbed a book quickly and this was it. I did like it though!
I love this book so much!
A great, page turner of a YA book with NO ROMANCE!! I LOVE IT! Just a heartfelt story of friendship. Can't wait to share this with my bookstore customers!
Once upon a time,May and Libby, friends by happenstance from the fifth grade onward, bonded over the story they had created. What started with Libby's drawing of a badass princess in red Chucks, and budding writer May's insistence that she needed no magic wand, only a sword, became volumes and volumes of the life of Princess X. Libby and May did not leave Princess X on the sidewalk. They took her home and, together, they built an imaginary empire. Once upon a few years later,The life of Princess
