Princess of Power: The Folly of Catra

by Cindy West

Adora, Glimmer, Angella, and Madame Razz have a picnic near a stream. Adora wishes that Frosta could be there. She then shows a silver crown that she made as a gift to Frosta that says "She who wears this crown rules the Kingdom of Snows." Madame Razz decides to make desert for everyone, but as usual, her spell goes wrong. Unnoticed, the silver crown falls into the stream. Catra is spying on them (isn't that original...) and steals the fallen crown. She takes it to Frosta and claims that Adora is trying to take over the Kingdom of Snows. Frosta and Catra go to the Whispering Woods together, so Frosta can see for herself. Kowl sees Frosta and tells her that Catra is lying, and Frosta freezes him to a branch. Meanwhile, Adora and company (now including Castaspella) discuss the missing crown. Suddenly, Adora's horse, Spirit panics. Adora realizes something is wrong and becomes She-Ra. Then Frosta joins the party and freezes She-Ra. Catra (who appears out of seeminly nowhere...) tells Frosta that now they can capture Brightmoon together. Glimmer uses her light power to melt the ice on She-Ra, who chases Catra away. Frosta apologizes and the group devise a plan. When Catra comes back, Frosta tells her that she has frozen the entire Kingdom of Brightmoon and shows them the frozen rebels. All of a sudden, the rebels are free (Castaspella made an illusion to make it appear as if they were frozen) and they chase Catra out of the woods for good. Then She-Ra leaves, and the rebels all go to the Crystal Castle (What!?!) and find Adora. Adora gives Frosta the crown and all of the rebels eat Frosta's homemade ice cream.

This is a really nice She-ra hardback comic. Shorter than most of the she-ra books and therefore better bedtime reading! Fun story about friendship.
