For fans of Disney princesses and Sailor Moon-style girl power, Cursed Princess Club is a lighthearted story of a young royal named Gwendolyn who finds her place in a world obsessed with princes, beauty, and happily-ever-afters.Simply because you're cursed doesn't mean you're not special.
Gwendolyn, the youngest of the king's three daughters, is living proof that princesses don't always have it all. She isn't like a typical fairy-tale princess, or other princesses in the Pastel Kingdom. In spite of her big heart and love of baking, Gwendolyn isn't particularly attractive. Unlike her sisters who have woodland creatures do their hair and makeup, or have flowers blossom wherever they sleep, Gwendolyn is a bit . . . different.
When her father proposes marriage for her and her sisters to make an alliance with the Plaid Kingdom, it breaks Gwendolyn's heart to hear that Prince Frederick thinks she's "really ugly." Overwhelmed and ashamed, she runs away into the forest and encounters the twisted world of the Cursed Princess Club, where her life will never be the same.
In this fifth book in the series, Gwendolyn continues to blend her Cursed PrIncess Clubworld with her real world-and finally hosts her dinner party. All she has to do is manage seating arrangements, organize the catering, lead good conversations . . . and convince her family that her guests from the Cursed Princess Club are completely normal, not-cursed princesses.
If that's not enough to juggle, the entire Plaid Kingdom royal family is joining too. The event does give Gwen the opportunity to spend more time with Frederick, who she continues to grow closer with despite still struggling with her self-esteem and shattered reflections. Meanwhile, the Cursed Princess Club members are on a mission-besides supporting Gwen, they plan to scour the Pastel Palace for hidden secrets about Gwen's mysterious mother.
This volume collects episodes 94 to 110 of the hit WEBTOON series with over 285 million views.

20 For 20! Celebrate 20 years of BOOM! Studios with the full supernatural coming-of-age classic, collected in its entirety for the very first time.
Daphne Walters' Los Angeles story seems pretty common—she followed her high school boyfriend to college only to be immediately and unceremoniously dumped a thousand miles away from home. Her roommate doesn't want her around either, but fortunately one heart-broken night brings her to Rycroft Manor, an apartment complex with more roommates and drama than she had ever bargained for—and they're all ghosts!
While helping out the long-lingering and new residents of Rycroft, Daphne has to deal with everything from angry spirits, the mystery ghost behind the basement door, and her college roommate Michelle trying to exorcise her new friends out of their own home! All while dealing with a complicated love life, a more complicated best friend-ship, and learning her place in LA!
GLADD Award-nominated Sina Grace (Iceman, Superman: The Harvests of Youth) and illustrator Siobhan Keenan (Jem and the Holograms, KFC Presents I Love You Colonel Sanders) present a thrilling and fun tale about friendship, romance, and living your best (after) life that you won’t want to leave on read.
