Synopsis

Working as costumed princesses at the local amusement park is a nice gig, but its not what Courtney, Amber, Tiffany, and Michelle want to do with their lives. These queens of high school have their own plans for life post-graduation, and they do not involve fixed games and fried pickles. But when all their plans fall apart, what are the girls to do?

These queens of high school have their own plans for life post-graduation, and they do not involve fixed games and fried pickles. But when all their plans fall apart, what are the girls to do? Left with no other options, they decide to keep their part-time jobs as princesses"for the moment. But even that plan is threatening to fall apart, thanks to the sudden and increasing muggings plaguing the park and chasing away customers. With their back-up jobs in peril, the girls have no choice but to take matters into their own hands and fight back. But the more they work to save the park, the more their part-time jobs become full-time, and the more their carefully-planned futures get pushed to the wayside. Will these princesses ever get their lives back on track? Will they even want to?

A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

BOOKLIST-Amber, Tiffany, Michelle, and Courtney have it all figured out. They're smart, pretty, athletic, and popular seniors in high school and they play the coveted roles of the four princesses at their town's seasonal “Enchanted Park.” Still, they're more than ready to say good-bye to the part-time gig (next summer, they'll be heading to college, Europe, or modeling gigs, of course) when, one by one, they learn their dreams might be out of reach for now. Then another surprise: Enchanted Park has become the target of repeated thievery, and its (let's face it, already crumbling) facade is tarnished in the eyes of the community. But could it be that these two wrongs-the park's future in jeopardy and the girls' post high-school plans turned to dust-make a big right? The princesses stay on at the park and discover that this surprising challenge would be thrilling to overcome... together. Gallagher's zippy black-and-white art and sometimes-wordless spreads keep the pace quick, and a blossoming love between two of the girls will charm readers.

Beautiful, popular, and adored by all, Courtney, Amber, Tiffany, and Michelle can't wait to graduate and take their place among the world's elite. But when all their future plans are ruined, the girls have only one back-up plan-working as costumed princesses at the local amusement park. Unfortunately, increased gang activity has driven away all but the most loyal of customers. With the park on the verge of closing, the girls resolve to fight back, bring back their adoring customers, save the amusement park they never wanted to work at, and maybe learn something about themselves along the way.
