Eight Princesses and a Magic Mirror
by Natasha FarrantHere are princesses for the Rebel Girls generation: bold, empowered, and determined to be true to themselves. “Mirror, mirror on the wall . . . what makes a princess excellent?” When an enchantress flings her magic mirror into our universe, its reflection reveals princesses who refuse to be just pretty, polite, and obedient. These are girls determined to do the rescuing themselves. Princess Leila of the desert protects her people from the king with the black-and-gold banner; Princess Tica takes a crocodile for a pet; Princess Ellen explores the high seas; Princess Abayome puts empathy and kindness above being royal; and in a tower block, Princess saves her community’s beloved garden from the hands of urban developers. Connecting these stories is the magic mirror, which reveals itself when each girl needs it most, illuminating how a princess’s power comes not from her title or beauty, but from her own inner strength. These beautifully imagined stories, complemented by vibrant and inviting artwork, offer the pleasure and familiarity of traditional tales with refreshingly modern themes.

Eighty-eight Steps to September
by Jan Marino[If I Could Make One Wish... I know where my wish would take me. I would be standing at the very top of the “88s,” just before dark. Sam would be running circles around me, barking, wanting to get on home. But I’d tell him to be still. “I’m waiting for someone,” I’d say, and I’d pull Sam close to me. Then I’d hear a voice call in the distance. “Hey, Amy, you going to sit there all night?” And there he’d be, standing at the bottom of the “88s” same as always. His hair would be bleached from the sun and his face would be tanned. “Hey, Amy,” he’d say, “race you up.” And before I could answer, he’d be flying up, Sam in his arms, me trailing behind him. And when we got to the very top, I’d put my arms around his neck and never let him go. Never. Ever. If I could make one wish..." Ages 8-12, RL 4.4b
