Illustrated by
Joe Berger.
Seduced by Camp Princess's hard sell, tomboy princess Viola gives civilized behavior her best shot but nevertheless reliably disappoints her teacher--until Viola saves her from a dragon via karate chops and skateboard tricks. Readers will feel for Viola, whose mixed emotions about fitting in are apparent on her face in Berger's animated, jazzy pictures--when she's not moat-diving, that is.
