The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party cover

In this delightful sequel, Princess Magnolia juggles her birthday party and her superhero duties, leading to comical chaos and unexpected challenges as she fights off monsters.

In The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party, Princess Magnolia faces the ultimate challenge of balancing her royal duties with her secret life as a superhero. As she prepares for her birthday party, chaos ensues when the monster alarm interrupts her celebration. With guests arriving and excitement in the air, she must quickly change from her elegant attire into her heroic alter ego, the Princess in Black. This action-packed sequel captures the delightful struggle of a young princess trying to maintain her composure while heroically defending her kingdom.

The story unfolds with a series of humorous and slapstick moments as Princess Magnolia dashes between her party and the goat pasture, battling monsters that seem to have an uncanny sense of timing. Each time the alarm sounds, she faces the challenge of returning to her guests without revealing her dual identity. The tension builds as her royal friends begin to notice her increasingly disheveled appearance, leading to a whirlwind of comical situations that highlight the difficulties of keeping secrets.

As the party progresses, the Princess in Black learns valuable lessons about friendship, bravery, and the importance of being true to oneself. With charming illustrations and engaging storytelling, The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party offers readers an entertaining glimpse into the life of a superhero princess who must navigate both her royal responsibilities and her heroic adventures.

“This is a simple but exciting read, full of humour. Each chapter is short and zips along at a rip-roaring pace and there are plenty of laughs to be had as the young princess tries to hide her secret identity whilst also attempting to defeat a number of goat-munching beasties. A likeable, fun story.” * The School Run *
