"For those who love charming, imaginative stories blending pop-culture nostalgia with emotional depth, this will satisfy with its sparkling heart and humor.

"Carrie Harris delivers authentic nerddom and impressive cosplay craft details in Snagged, a clever homage to the chaotic, campy glory of 80s Saturday morning cartoons. Harris fully embraces Lady Lovely Locks's wacky aesthetic, complete with artificer princesses and flirty manga hedge wizards. But beneath the surface nostalgia lies something more intriguing—an ending that reframes everything that came before and sets up what promises to be an even more compelling sequel."—Nikki Van De Car, author of The Invisible Wild

“The Princess Bride meets Adventure Time in this magical story that’s perfect for fans of cosplay, Con culture, and all things nerdy.
