"Sweet, sassy and mystical, this novel deftly melds an old-fashioned story of princess preparation with the modern twist of body image and self-esteem. Young readers will respond to the voice as well as the predicament, while grown-ups will appreciate the values." —Kirkus Reviews"Talented authors Randall and Randall-Williams created this charming novel that tickled my imagination. . . . The Diary of B. B. Bright will provide readers with adventures that’ll lead them through the fast-moving exploits of a fresh new character, Black Bee Bright, a.k.a. Bee or B. B. Although Bee and her world is fantasy, the authors have kept it all very real. Contemporary readers will recognize Bee’s defiance of the Godmommies' three rules, the secret of her father, and her struggle to pass the life-defining official princess training test . . . the dreaded OPT. A Black Princess? You betcha! This is a book that should win recognition and praise." —Patricia McKissack, Coretta Scott King Award winner, NAACP Image Award winner, and bestselling author of Flossie and the Fox, Going Someplace Special, Mirandy and Brother Wind, and Let My People Go “I can’t adequately convey how cute and fun this book is.” —Rhapsody in Books "A fun twist on the fairy princess story . . . an exciting, romantic, enchanting tale . . . charmingly illustrated by Strickland's line drawings." —A Wrung Sponge
