Ida Invisible
by Jacquelyn Floyd-Priskorn
Ida lives in a fairytale. She is also aware that everyone who gets a “happily ever after” must endure great challenges and hardships to achieve it. She decides she is content just doing everyone else’s laundry as they survive curses and dragons. Then the dark fairy, Billiana arrives at Ida’s laundry hut, threatening her with a curse if she doesn’t stop hiding from her “happily ever after.”Forced into an adventure, Ida meets a mystical creature called JumJum, a troll, a selfish king, a nervous prince and a mermaid. She soon discovers that “happily ever after” doesn’t necessarily mean marrying a prince and moving to a castle. Sometimes leaving your comfort zone and risking everything for your friends is “happily ever after” enough.

A humorous fantasy story that comments on- and pivots away from- some familiar fairy tale tropes. The dialogue is quippy and clever, and the characters are delightful! Fun for all ages!
A delightful, comic fable about taking risks and making the choice to be a part of the world, as well as the dangers of apathy and judgmental thinking, which is just “horribly offensive and reductive.” Ida is a hilariously dry heroine and the rest of the eclectic, female-led cast match her in wit. While it’s a shame (at least for Ida) to see the “happily ever after” loom so large over her head, the fallout is heartwarming, supportive and praising of the unconventional, and pure entertainment.
