A delightful tongue-in-cheek twist on fairy tales and the magic school genre. Mixing the modern with the magical, author Alex London skewers popular fairy-tale tropes with a sharp wit and a loving, lighthearted touch, telling an empowering story where princesses learn to be their own fairy godmothers. --Soman Chainani, author of The School for Good and Evil
A slick, sly, and clever love letter to fairy tales. The Princess Protection Program is a celebration of changing the narrative to fit the person you are and not the person people want you to be. It's the fairy tale we need. --Roshani Chokshi, New York Times bestselling author of Aru Shah and the End of Time
A clever and laugh-out-loud tale of friendship, magic, and princesses--and a prince--who learn to rewrite their own stories. Absolutely charming. --Sarah Mlynowski, New York Times bestselling author of the Whatever After and Best Wishes series
A fast-paced, fun, and whimsical read about defining your own destiny. --Claribel A. Ortega, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlings series
Where can a princess hide if her Ever After isn't all that Happy? Bestselling author Alex London turns classic fairy tales on their heads in this fast-paced, funny fantasy about embracing change and taking control of your own story. For fans of the School for Good and Evil and the Chronicles of Never After series.
Every fairy tale ends with its characters living happily ever after, right? A valiant prince quests long and hard to reach the castle where the sleeping princess lies. And with a kiss, he awakens her.
But what if the princess does not think a kiss from a stranger is a very pleasant way to wake up? Yuck!
When Rosamund flees her prince, a Door of Opportunity opens, and she steps through it to the Home Educational Academy (the HEA for short). Rosamund has found the Princess Protection Program, where fugitive fairy-tale princesses escape unwanted affections, untimely ends, and all the other perils of their stories.
But the longer Rosamund lives in the real world, the more questions she has. Does anyone ever graduate from the HEA? Why doesn't anyone seem to remember the former students? Is the kindly fairy headmistress all she appears to be? Is anyone? And the most important question of all: Can Rosamund change her story?
Acclaimed and bestselling author Alex London weaves together several beloved fairy tales in this fast-paced, funny, and slyly subversive adventure about finding your place in the world.
- A Princess Who Saves Herself: Forget waiting for a prince. After a truly gross magical kiss, Princess Rosamund decides her 'happily ever after' doesn't involve a stranger and goes on the run.
- Found Family and Friendship: At the Home Educational Academy, Rosamund finds her crew. With friends like Sirena and Rana, she'll discover that sisterhood is the most powerful magic of all.
- A School with Dark Secrets: This magical sanctuary seems too good to be true. When students start to disappear, Rosamund realizes the greatest danger might be the very person promising to protect her.
- Laugh-Out-Loud Adventure: Packed with witty dialogue and hilarious twists on classic tropes, this story skewers the fairy tales you thought you knew.
