Who says princesses can't wear black? When trouble raises its blue monster head, Princess Magnolia ditches her flouncy dresses and becomes the Princess in Black.

The first in a funny, action-packed series for young readers who like their princesses not only prim and perfect, but also dressed 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!

A rollicking read from the award-winning writing team of Shannon and Dean Hale and illustrator LeUyen Pham.
