By Vera Brosgol
Plain Jane's quest for independence leads her underwater to rescue a kidnapped prince from mermaids.
Jane, deemed plain by all, seeks independence by proposing to Prince Peter. But when a mermaid kidnaps him, her plans sink. Venturing into the ocean's depths, Jane faces enchanting mysteries and perilous creatures. Can she rescue her maybe-fiancé and find her own path to freedom? Dive into a tale where fairy-tale norms are turned upside down, and discover if Jane's courage can outshine her plainness.
From Anya’s Ghost and Be Prepared author Vera Brosgol comes an instant classic graphic novel that flips every fairy-tale you know on its head, and shows one girl’s crusade for the only thing that matters–her own independence. Jane is incredibly plain. Everyone says so: her parents, the villagers, and her horrible cousin who kicks her out of her own house. Determined to get some semblance of independence, Jane prepares to propose to the princely Peter, who might just say yes to get away from his father. It’s a good plan! Or it would’ve been, if he wasn’t kidnapped by a mermaid. With her last shot at happiness lost in the deep blue sea, Jane must venture to the world underwater to rescue her maybe-fiancé. But the depths of the ocean hold beautiful mysteries and dangerous creatures. What good can a plain Jane do?
