There is one aspect of this comic that is going to give people pause. So I'm dealing with it first - Mabelrose is a good girl and she prays. It isn't quite spelled out that it is a Christian god, but she does that whole kneeling hands thing. However, there are other characters that talk about god...
Okay, deep breath. It's not that I hate princesses, it's just that so far I have never read a comic about a princess that has not made me want to rage quit. I needed to take three breaks from looking at this thing to get through it. I picked it up because, of course, it was supposed to have an e...

The artwork is very lovely, and young readers will enjoy it, as well as older readers. The dialogue is easy to read and funny. I...
A fun read with a female version of Scrooge as the lead. It was an nice twist, however, I wish the gender swap had been done throughout the book (female characters where male had been in the original and vice versa), instead of just with Scrooge - now, that would have been interesting! I must mentio...
