DESCRIPTION
Not every fairy tale has a happy ending. In Damsel, award-winning author Elana K. Arnold delivers a dark, unsettling fantasy that challenges the familiar story of a prince rescuing a helpless maiden.
For generations, the princes of Harding have followed the same tradition: travel into the dangerous gray lands, slay a dragon, and rescue a damsel who will become their bride. When Ama awakens in the arms of Prince Emory, she remembers nothing of her past or the dragon's lair. She knows only that the prince has saved her and that she is expected to become his queen.
But as Ama enters the kingdom of Harding, she begins to question the story she has been told. Beneath the promise of a fairy-tale romance lies a disturbing truth about the kingdom's traditions, the dragons, and the role she is expected to play.
A 2019 Michael L. Printz Honor Book, Damsel is a provocative young adult fantasy exploring power, control, identity, and the struggle for independence. Its mature themes make it particularly suited to older teen readers.

"Love the rotating seasonal items and the consistent supply of specialty office supplies!! Jerrol's makes it fun to pick up page protectors-- if I happen to also purchase a chicken-shaped mug or gorgeous wildflower apron while I'm there as well, that's just a happy accident lol :)"
"In one quick visit, I was able to get help finding art supplies for a new project as well as order some new release books for my daughters for Christmas. It’s great to have a small business in town that can do all that!"
"What a fun quirky place. Art supplies, RC cars, and puzzles, yep! Need a coffee while browsing the vintage clothing, sure! Office furniture, yep! Need some university gear, they have that too! Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area."
“I came in for something specific and left with exactly what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable.”
