The Princess in Black is like Bruce Wayne is to Batman or Clark Kent is to Superman, for she is a girl hero in disguise.

In book number 5, the Princess in Black  (AKA Princess Magnolia) is helping Goat Avenger send a monster back to Monster Land, but they do not notice another monster emerge from the hole a short time later. The new monster is a hungry shape-shifter. The Princess in Black currently smells like goats after helping the Goat Avenger, so the hungry monster secretly follows her back to Princess Magnolia’s castle, where she changes clothes. Now Princess Magnolia, still smelling of goats, is being followed by the monster disguised as a trunk riding on the back of her carriage, as the princess heads out for a playdate in the neighboring castle of Princess Sneezewort. Princess Sneezewort shows Princess Magnolia around her castle when a villager starts calling,’  “Help! Help! A monster is trying to eat my kitty!”  ‘(30) In Clark Kent style Princess Magnolia changes into the Princess in Black to rescue the kitty. Princess Sneezewort decides she must protect her kingdom and quickly transforms herself for the first time into the Princess in Blankets. Together they help the villagers, even though they do not know each others true identities. Eventually, the two princesses catch the monster and send him back to Monster Land.

Short chapters , colorful illustrations on every page turn, and scroll work around the text filled pages add an elegant charm which adds to the appeal of this book.
