I am Princess X
Cherie Priest
Fiction P933i
Best friends, big fans, a
mysterious webcomic, and a long-lost girl collide in this riveting
novel, perfect for fans of both Cory Doctorow and Sarah Dessen;
illustrated throughout with comics.
Once upon a time, two best
friends created a princess together. Libby drew the pictures, May wrote
the tales, and their heroine, Princess X, slayed all the dragons and
scaled all the mountains their imaginations could conjure.
Once
upon a few years later, Libby was in the car with her mom, driving
across the Ballard Bridge on a rainy night. When the car went over the
side, Libby passed away, and Princess X died with her.
Once upon
a now: May is sixteen and lonely, wandering the streets of Seattle,
when she sees a sticker slapped in a corner window.
Princess X?
When
May looks around, she sees the Princess everywhere: Stickers. Patches.
Graffiti. There's an entire underground culture, focused around a
webcomic at IAmPrincessX.com. The more May explores the webcomic, the
more she sees disturbing similarities between Libby's story and Princess
X online. And that means that only one person could have started this
phenomenon---her best friend, Libby, who lives.
