The Runaway Princess
by Johan Troïanowski (Author)
This princess can't resist the lure of adventure, but her parents aren't quite on board in this fantastical graphic novel perfect for fans of Princess in Black and Phoebe and Her Unicorn!
Robin? Robin? Robin?! Where are you?
She couldn't have gone far. . . .
Princesses don't run away to have their own adventures. Right?
Princesses stay quietly and obediently at home. They would never want mermaids and swamps and pirates and getting kidnapped to be a part of their lives.
Not this princess! Adventures await when Robin (bored of princess-ing all the time) embarks on the best adventure of her life--meeting friends along the way as she travels through the magical landscape of her country. But her parents aren't so pleased--and they're coming to find her and bring her back to the castle, no matter how she feels about it!

Princess Robin loves adventure, and adventure loves her! Whether narrowly escaping danger in dark labyrinths, breaking bewitching spells, outwitting pumpkin minions, or standing up to a dreaded pirate, Robin, accompanied by her friends, is an inquisitive, optimistic, and doggedly determined heroine. However, though the princess's willful walk into the unknown and her penchant for evading imminent danger are appealing, the book's real charm lies with the book's interactive element. Broken into three connected yet distinct tales, the narrative appeals directly to the reader to help Robin maneuver the kingdom or save her friends. These cleverly-placed invitations not only keep readers focused on the action but help drive it as well. The buoyant cartoons, which rely on a gorgeous palette of warm and cool colors to complement the bold red of the princess, effectively capture Robin's journeys. VERDICT For fans of fantasy, adventure, or graphic novels.—Tamela Chambers, Chicago Public Library, IL
