Cursed Princess Club - by Michelle Knudsen (Hardcover)

Book Synopsis

For fans of Lambcat's enchanting WEBTOON comes a novel adaptation series in the vein of Serena Valentino's Disney Villains series or the Mariko Tamaki's Lumberjanes novelization. Delve deeper into the world of the Cursed Princess Club.

Welcome to the world of the Cursed Princess Club where things aren't quite as they seem.

Gwendolyn is a princess. She lives in a castle, her father is the king, and her siblings love her . . . it sounds like a fairy tale, yet it's not that simple. Gwen isn't your typical princess, and she isn't conventionally attractive. But when she meets the members of the Cursed Princess Club, they help her recognize that not "fitting the mold" doesn't make her less of a princess.

In this second book of the series, Prince Frederick is beginning to question if he deserves Gwen. She's been so kind to him, but he hasn't always been nice to her, and he's starting to realize that appearances aren't everything.

Meanwhile, Gwen is introduced to the Princels--princes who have shunned society because of their own insecurities, insecurities she can understand.

With the same charming and delightful heart as the comics, the adventures of Gwendolyn and the other Cursed Princesses continue in this novel series adapted by best-selling author Michelle Knudsen.
