“With luck, the battle would be quick. Duchess Wigtower was in Princess Magnolia's castle. Her castle was full of secrets. Especially the broom closet. The princess in Black hoped the duchess would not snoop.“

This book is intended for children between the ages of four and seven. After looking over the book I would have to agree. This seems to be a very fun, engaging, and adventurous story for children of these ages to interact with. It is a very easy read with illustrations to help in depicting the plot. This book is also a part of a series which can allow children the opportunity to build on their understanding across other books within in the series.

This story is an example of speculative fiction as it possesses elements including fantasy, fairy tales, magic, and mythical creatures. In this story Princess Magnolia tries her best to hide her alter ego as the Princess in Black from her the nosy Dutchess. While still maintaining the duties she is upheld to as the Princess in Black, which includes transforming into a superhero who protects her kingdom from monsters.

A prim princess dons a disguise and fights monsters. Yes please! My 4-year-old and I loved it! The illustrations are so much fun and I loved the story of the fiery princess. The series is so much fun to read aloud. After reading these two I immediately wanted to find more of the books in the series.

Daisey These books are so much fun! I‘ve thoroughly enjoyed reading the series with my niece. 5y
AvidReader25 @Daisey It‘s so much fun to discover new series with my kids! 5y

5⭐🎉 So for Mothers Day the Library is having a Princess in Black tea for Mothers and their children- both princes and princesses are encouraged to come dressed up either in black/ mask, prince/ princess attire, or a super hero. THIS BOOK IS SO WONDERFUL MY HEART MELTS!!😍😭 Took me literally 10 minutes bit going to sit tight for an hour to finish the last 3.

Princess Magnolia definitely deserves a place among the #kickassheroines
She may look like the perfect princess in pink, but secretly she defends her lands from goat-eating-monsters.
I'm hoping for a reveal at some point so Magnolia can be at peace with her entire identity and not have to hide an important part of herself.

The latest Princess in Black (takes a vacation) hit shelves today and I absolutely loved it. My daughter and I have enjoyed reading these together for over a year now. There is a picture in every single page, so my 3 year old didn't have any attention span problems with these 87 page long stories. Highly recommend to little girls who like princess-ing AND kicking butt.

Cinfhen Wish these were around when I was raising my badass princess 💞🙌🏻👑💄 8y
Carpool_Librarian My 5 year old 👑 LOVES these! She is so excited!! 8y

This is totally a kid book (level: Intro to chapters books, with lots of fantastic pictures) but it both amazing and hilarious.
The "Princess is Black" follows the story of a princess, who is also a monster fighting ninja and her duel identity unicorn/pony (named Frimplepants/Blacky) as they save the goats from hungry monsters between tea parties.

My boys were shy meeting "the author of Squirrel Girl" but we're giggling all the way home about Frimplepants the unicorn. These are a treat, and the creatures and characters were fun to voice. I think the boys will like reading it to themselves someday, too! (Soon?)
