Princeless is a great fantasy for middle grades about a fairytale princess who rescues herself
I think it's from this: https://www.amazon.com/Princeless-Save-Yourself-Jeremy-Whitley/dp/1939352541/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=MTRDKJJAWBAV&keywords=princeless&qid=1556916240&s=gateway&sprefix=princeless&sr=8-1
You guys would probably enjoy the comic regardless, it really turns the woman's role in the whole sword and sorcery genre on its head.
Princeless Volume 1: Save Yourself is the first trade of the main series.
Princeless Volume 3: The Pirate Princess introduces Raven, the titular Pirate Princess.
After that Raven spins off into her own series in Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Volume 1: Captain Raven and the All-Girl Pirate Crew.
Raven's series is noted for having a lot of LGBT representation, so if your coworker's one of those types who don't want their kids exposed to that stuff I'd avoid buying it as a gift.
Edit: Also the main series is the one with the black protagonist. Raven's asian.
Nothing. I can list out the whole series if that helps.
Main series goes
Princeless Volume 1: Save Yourself
Princeless Volume 2: Get Over Yourself
Princeless Volume 3: The Pirate Princess
Princeless Volume 4: Be Yourself
Princess Volume 5: Make Yourself Part 1
And the not yet released Princeless Volume 6: Make Yourself Part 2
And for Raven's series we have
Princeless: Raven The Pirate Princess Book 1: Captain Raven and the All-Girl Pirate Crew
Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Book 2: Free Women
and Princeless: Raven the Pirate Princess Book 3: Two Boys, Five Girls, and Three Love Stories
That's all of them.
