Princess M'Niya Minus: glam, gifted, and tragically cursed before Regionals 

Being fabulous is hard. Being cursed is harder. But being cursed and fabulous? That's a full-time crisis.

Princess M'Niya Minus was born to shine. Her walk is flawless, her tiaras are legendary, and her confidence could knock down castle walls. From royal galas to glitter-drenched pageants, she always brings the sparkle—and the side-eye. But everything changes the day she trips over a magical mirror in the garden and accidentally breaks it.

Out jumps a grumpy forest hag who curses her with seven terrifying words:
"Everything you touch shall turn to trash."

Suddenly, M'Niya's life of glam becomes a disaster parade. Her crown flattens like a pancake. Her milk explodes. Her sketchbook melts into goop. Even bubble bath isn't safe anymore. And when a ballerina music box breaks in her hands, M'Niya knows the curse is real—and it's personal.

With the Royal Radiance Showcase only days away, she must find a way to break the curse before she wrecks her future—and every shiny thing in sight. But this diva doesn't have to do it alone.

Enter a cast of wonderfully weird companions:

Sir Slinksalot: A thug-life ferret who doesn't believe in pants but does believe in biting curses.

Princess Zaria: M'Niya's secret twin sister, a calm, brilliant magic student with boots, brains, and a scroll that could save them both.

Jax: A wand-wielding rhythm mage with a beatboxing lizard, a crush on chaos, and maybe a crush on M'Niya too.

Kirrily: A barefoot forest girl who speaks to animals, trees, and occasionally stubborn princesses. She doesn't like drama. Which is awkward.

As M'Niya stumbles through magical training, cursed objects, musical frogs, and royal tantrums, she begins to realize the curse might not just be about what she touches—but how she sees the world around her. To break it, she'll have to follow eight strange scroll rules, face her worst habits, and maybe, just maybe, grow into the kind of royal who can touch things… without destroying them.

Will M'Niya figure out the truth behind the curse before she trashes the entire kingdom?
Will Sir Slinksalot ever stop judging her?
And will she finally learn that sparkle means nothing without self-control?

Perfect for readers ages 8–12, Princess M'Niya Minus: Everything I Touch Turns to Trash is a hilarious, heartfelt, and unapologetically fabulous tale about magic, mistakes, and what it really means to glow up on the inside. If you love stories with sass, scrolls, and slightly cursed glitter, this one's for you.
