Who says princesses don’t wear black? When trouble raises its blue monster head, Princess Magnolia ditches her flouncy dresses and becomes the Princess in Black! Princess Magnolia is having hot chocolate and scones with Duchess Wigtower when . . . Brring! Brring! The monster alarm! A big blue monster is threatening the goats! Stopping monsters is no job for dainty Princess Magnolia. But luckily Princess Magnolia has a secret —she’s also the Princess in Black, and stopping monsters is the perfect job for her ! Can the princess sneak away, transform into her alter ego, and defeat the monster before the nosy duchess discovers her secret? From award-winning writing team of Shannon and Dean Hale and illustrator LeUyen Pham, here is the first in a humorous and action-packed chapter book series for young readers who like their princesses not only prim and perfect, but also dressed in black. Review: A Fantastic Beginning Reader! - This is a fabulous beginning reader. It's action packed, and easy to read. Unlike some easy to read books, this book's pages contain the right amount of easy to read words. I felt like each of the words are ones first and second graders should easily be able to read. Each page contains great illustrations that will keep readers engaged with the story. My daughter and I loved this book. It's full of adventure, heart, and the best part, is that it is about Princess Magnolia. Princess Magnolia is not a normal Princess. I mean, she is a Princess, and she wears the things you'd except a Princess to wear, and she does the things you'd excerpt a Princess to do. But, she has a secret. Princess Magnolia is also, the Princess in Black. The Princess in Black is not afraid of anything. Unlike Princess Magnolia who wears Pink, the Princess in Black wears all black. Since Princess Magnolia lives close to wear the monsters live, it's up to the Princess in Black to stop them. When a big Blue Monster tries to take some goats, it's up to the Princess in Black to save the day. Luckily she doesn't have to face the monsters alone. She has her trusted horse by her side. And yes, he too has his own disguise. I love that the story is about a girl who can be both a Princess and a great heroine. It shows kids that they can be whomever they want to, and have fun doing it. My daughter identified with Princess Magnolia, as she loves to dress up as a Princess, as well as done a mask, and dress up in cape, and save the day. This is a fantastic book, and one I'd highly recommend picking up. Don't let the beginning reader comment throw you off. This is a fabulous chapter book I think fans of all ages will enjoy. I won't tell you my age, but it's long past the beginning reader stage, and I loved it, and I look forward to reading it again. It's no surprise that it ended up on the New York Times Best Sellers List. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Review: Empowering Story for Girls, Well-written, Fun to Read - My toddler loves this book and I really enjoy reading it to her. It is a fun and exciting story, that triggers imagination and is empowering for girls. The book came up in a school moms’ coffee morning and several of the moms recommended it. I’m pleased that they did because it was a great choice. This is a fairly long book so I wasn’t sure I could keep my toddler’s attention to complete the book. I figured we would read this over the span of a few days. However, my daughter was so excited and interested in the story that it maintained her attention to finish the entire book in one sitting. Since then, she has asked for me to read this book several times a week. I appreciate that the story’s theme allows for the reader (or child you are reading it to) to see that the main character can be both a princess and a superhero! The message and the moral of the book are inspiring and I really like that. It’s well written, easy to read and a nice flow. There are some nice illustrations and a brief amount of text on each page, so as you turn through the pages, it keeps the listener’s attention. Will certainly purchase more from this series. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,747 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Children's Superhero Science Fiction #6 in Children's Royalty Books (Books) #28 in Children's Books on Girls' & Women's Issues | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 3,519 Reviews | ## Images ![The Princess in Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91Tz7I3VXQL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fantastic Beginning Reader! *by A***R on January 27, 2015* This is a fabulous beginning reader.

She still greatly prefers books with a lot of pictures and I've been hunting them down. This is our first BIG HIT. The chapters are short, the story is simple and the writing level is just right for her. She could manage the reading level, but doesn't yet have the stamina to get through a lot at a time, so I just had her read the first page of each chapter to me. We finished it in a sitting and she already asked me if she gets to keep it forever (ie, is it a library book). Like a lot of moms, I struggle with princess culture and want to let her love princesses (because she does!), but also encourage her to forge her own path and be an active participant in life (as opposed to being rescued and waiting for a prince.) This book is perfect. She loved the nosy duchess and the line about the goat boy (not half goat and half boy, though that would be interesting), and the silly-named Frimplepants the unicorn. The big problem, as always seems to happen, is that there is ONLY ONE!!! You always hope, when you find a gem like this, that there will already be a series waiting for you. We've already preordered the next one, but I hope the Hales will pick up the pace! A year and a half between installments is killer! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/13999041-the-princess-in-black](https://www.desertcart.no/products/13999041-the-princess-in-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-16*
