Inconvenient monster alarms, a sparkly array of princess guests, and spot-on slapstick pacing make for a party readers will celebrate.
Today is Princess Magnolia’s birthday party, and she wants everything to be perfect. But just as her guests are arriving… Brring! Brring! The monster alarm!
Princess Magnolia runs to the broom closet, ditches her frilly clothes, 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. And every time she rushes back—an inside-out dress here, a missing shoe there—it gets harder to keep the other princesses from being suspicious.
Don’t those monsters understand that now is not a good time for an attack?

My 6-year-old daughter LOVES The Princess In Black! She is extremely excited to read this next installment of Princess Magnolia’s adventures. When she heard it was out, she grabbed my arm and asked when we could go to the bookstore to get her a copy. She’s already planning on being the Princess in Black for Halloween next year. (She thought of it too late this year; one afternoon is not enough time for me to pull that together!) We’re excited to read this book!
