Princess Sparkle-Heart Gets a Makeover

32 pp. | Clarion | April, 2014 | Trade ISBN 978-0-544-14228-2 $16.99
(3) K-3 Amelia's jealous dog hates Amelia's beloved princess doll. Following "an accident" (read: the dog destroys the doll), Amelia rebuilds Princess Sparkle-Heart, but readers don't see until book's end that it now resembles a dog-repelling Raggedy Ann–like horror-movie creation. Schneider plays it perfectly: Amelia is mellow throughout, and he never tips his hand regarding her sinister side. The droll art is pleasantly sparkle-light.
