Princess is not a princess. She’s just a girl named Princess. But after she unknowingly passes a peculiar test by sleeping on a stack of mattresses and a pea, Princess is told she is a “real princess” and future ruler of the land. Which doesn’t make any sense to her. That’s not how a leader of a whole land should be chosen.

And so, Princess decides to find a better way, one that’s more fair and democratic. Princess and the Pea-tition encourages readers of all ages to question ridiculous systems, use their voice for good, and be the leaders they want to see in the world.

Join Princess in her journey to change a fairytale land forever, one vote at a time.
