Part-Time Princesses by Monica Gallagher

4.0

Interesting graphic novel about four graduating senior girls who, when their life plans for college or dance team auditions or modeling tours in Europe fall through, decide to stick with their summer jobs of portraying Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Rapunzel and the Little Mermaid in a Disney-knockoff local amusement park. But the park has become rundown and has a bad reputation for muggings and gang activity, and no matter how much the girls try their hand at improving the park--cleaning, painting, fixing, teaching themselves how to be handy with tools--the crowds still aren't coming. So they decide to get really serious: take self-defense classes and take on the gang members physically! Along the way they also learn a little humility--they were the "popular" girls and treated the male employees as beneath them--and teamwork. I liked the story idea, and there's some humor, but the art is so-so; I sometimes had trouble differentiating the two blondes and two brunettes from each other. But a cute twist on princess stories.
