Just because you're cursed doesn't mean you're not special.
Meet Gwendolyn, the youngest princess of the Pastel Kingdom. Despite her big heart and love for baking, Gwen is living proof that royalty doesn't always have it all-unlike the typical fairytale princess, or other princesses in the Pastel Kingdom, Gwen isn't particularly attractive. While her sisters have woodland creatures do their hair and makeup, and flowers blossom wherever they sleep, the youngest princess is just a bit . . . different.
When her father proposes marriage for Gwen and her sisters in hopes of building an alliance with the Plaid Kingdom, Gwen's heart shatters when she overhears Prince Frederick call her "ugly." Ashamed and overwhelmed, she runs away into the forest, where she discovers the twisted and enchanted world of the Cursed Princess Club-and her life will change forever.

Reviews / Votes
"LambCat's quirky, lighthearted series opener shines brightest in its humor" followed by "Tropey arranged royal marriages beget chuckle-worthy dramatic irony in an endearing graphic novel, originally a webcomic, that subverts classic fairy tale tropes." -Publishers Weekly"A lovely comic with a "cute" art style and a story that resonates with so many people. It reminds us all that we do not owe the world beauty, and that we do not have to be physically attractive to everyone in order to be loved for who we really are." - Sequential Planet
"With its good humor and cute art, The Cursed Princess Club is a delightful graphic novel. It delivers wholesome messages about friendship and community for its young adult audience that may well resonate with older readers too." -Foreword
"An affirming first volume in which the cast acknowledges inner beauty and stands firm with one another." -School Library Journal
