Princess Labelmaker to the Rescue!

What a book, Jabba the Puppet was an ok book, but this one was amazing and completely justified the FunTime arc of the series. So much great stuff the cases, the doodles, the resolution. I don’t know where to begin. First off I’m gonna discuss Murky, we love Murky and this book decided to give his character new dimension. He gets a chapter where he gives solid advice to Jen via Pad-me and a chapter all about him getting picked on by bigots. That specific chapter was so real and refreshing to see the topic brought up in an elementary aged book. I love the message of the chapter saying that it doesn’t matter what Murky’s orientation is, he’s just a cool person who deserves to be in the yearbook like everyone else credit to Sara for knowing what’s what (also Mike concerned me in that chapter). I liked Quavondo’s chapter since it gave him a resolution with Mr. GFC (and it also brought up casual racism, seriously Tom really got to give kids more challenging topics in this book) plus the three nameless dudes line, we will love you Than, always. I loved the chapter where the Patterns kids showed off their art skills, Lance’s Twitter escapades, Cassie’s drama club conclusion. Of course I gotta bring up the two part crab soccer arc. Seeing Harvey be so determined on something positive like winning a crab soccer game against “The Tot” was amazing, I legitimately loved reading this arc for the good feelings. Finally it’s time for the serious talks: Rabbski was so interesting in this book as she essentially realized that being a principal was completely wrong for her. Her talk with Sara was so interesting with how she realized that she hated what she was doing to Dwight forcing the kids to give up what they love for bogus test (side note the commentary on test culture and how companies make a lot of money exploiting schools is so telling). It was so great seeing her come to terms with this and makes her snaps at the school board meeting all the better. Also the school board meeting such a great moment, good full circle from Darth Paper, and Kellen got an epic moment there. In conclusion Princess Labelmaker was an excellent book that could have served for a decent series finale, but if I remember correctly we got spoiled on Emperor Pickletein. I’m so happy Tom was able to write this book and I love everything.
