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.
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.
