Ashley Schumacher's "The Renaissance of Gwen Hathaway" gives a grieving teen a chance to cope with change by navigating modifications to her traditional renaissance-faire circuit. Following the loss of her mother, Madeline "Gwen" Hathaway wants everything to stay the same. That's why the changes made on the final stop of the renaissance-faire circuit she and her father work on are such an insult to her. The tour's last stop has new management, and they've made massive updates to Gwen's beloved spot. When Gwen meets Arthur, the son of the new owners, she's surprised by their burgeoning friendship and even agrees to become Princess of the Faire. As she oversees an event that looks nothing like the special place she shared with her mother, Gwen begins to heal amid castles, potions, and a very charming bard.
