A princess with a monster-fighting secret

Princess Magnolia’s afternoon of hot chocolate and scones is interrupted by an alarm: a blue monster is threatening the goats. She slips away from the watchful Duchess Wigtower to take on the rescue as the Princess in Black. The setup pairs a royal social visit with a secret superhero identity, making disguise and monster trouble the engines of this first chapter-book adventure in a series. Its central contrast is a princess’s flouncy public image against her action-ready alter ego.
