Synopsis

The Princess in Black: Princess Magnolia is having hot chocolate and scones with Duchess Wigtower when . . . Brring! Brring! The monster alarm! Stopping monsters is no job for prim and perfect Princess Magnolia. But luckily Princess Magnolia has a secret: she’s also the Princess in Black! Can Princess Magnolia sneak away, transform into her alter ego, and defeat the monster before the nosy duchess discovers her secret?
 
The Perfect Princess Party: Today is Princess Magnolia’s birthday party, but just as her guests are arriving . . . The monster alarm! Princess Magnolia runs to the broom closet and becomes the Princess in Black! She rushes to the goat pasture, defeats the monster, and returns to the castle before her guests discover her secret. But every time Princess Magnolia is about to open her presents, the monster alarm rings again. Don’t those monsters understand that now is not a good time for an attack?
 
The Hungry Bunny Horde: Princess Magnolia and her unicorn, Frimplepants, are on their way to have brunch with Princess Sneezewort. But just when they arrive, Princess Magnolia’s monster alarm rings. Princess Magnolia and Frimplepants transform into the Princess in Black and her faithful pony, Blacky. But when they get to the goat pasture, all they can see is a field full of darling little bunnies nibbling on grass, wiggling their fluffy tails. Where are the monsters? Are these bunnies as innocent as they appear?

Goodreads review by Jessica on August 18, 2021

I'm not going to review every The Princess in Black book, because to be honest, I didn't even know that I had listened to three books until the whole thing was over. I had heard about the series from a friend and liked the sound of the premise (princess/superhero), but it was so BAD! However, my six......more

Goodreads review by Jim on November 10, 2017

These books seem to have a tough time finding their footing. Sometimes they seem like their target audience is preschool. Sometimes mid-elementary. I enjoyed some of the concepts, but some of the writing just seems drafty. Like someone is telling these stories out loud for the first time - not that......more

Goodreads review by Maya on February 22, 2023

A great early reader book for my 1st grader. It has simply language but still challenging enough parts to be expanding her vocabulary. The storyline is very juvenile; she truly enjoys the cookie cutter story but an older reader would find it predictable and repetitive with each book. Highly recommen......more
