An adorable adventure story filled with humor, suspense, and mystery. This is a great graphic novel. Written as a classic mystery story, with plenty of misdirection, this book takes the princess trope and turns it on its head. A sleuthing princess, an evil queen who isn’t all bad, and a punk rock fairy godmother named Amber- this book is pretty amazing.

Loved the illustrations. They are all very cute.

I also fell in love with the characters at first sight. Max and Justine (a.k.a. Jerk Pony, a.k.a. Mega Pony) are hilarious and sassy. I loved their budding friendship. Equipped with Max’s super sleuthing skills and magical princess powers and Justine’s awesome technology and sarcasm, this is an unbeatable (and lovable) team!

Long live Mega Princess and Mega Pony!
