Review: Peach is a brave little girl living in a village that's seen multiple attacks and plundering from monsters - but when she wants to go and fight with warriors chosen from each faction of her village to seek out Monster Isle, she's seen as just a weak girl who could get hurt or killed. But Peach is determined, brave, and a fighter; her plans to help save her village won't be thwarted as she heads off from home to fight the monsters and make a few friends (and enemies) along the way. A full-color graphic novel, wonderfully illustrated by Agnes Garbowska, that actually contains a couple stories of Peach's coming into her own; a nice, fun, at time humorous read, if not necessarily a standout book that will have you rushing back for more. Probably a bigger rush for kids, with a terrific "girl power" message, but definitely worth any adult's time for a quick read, too! (Available March 22) 3/5 stars
NOTE: I received a free ARC of this title from NetGalley and the publisher, in exchange for an honest review.
