Perfect for confident young readers moving into chapter books, it follows Princess Magnolia as she swaps satin gowns for a mask and cape whenever the monster alarm sounds. Funny, fast-paced and beautifully illustrated, the set is a brilliant introduction to a beloved, best-selling series that mixes humour, friendship and girl-power heroics for readers aged 7 to 9. About the Books Princess Magnolia looks every inch the perfect princess — poised, polite, and always ready for tea with a visiting duchess. But when the secret monster alarm rings, she dashes to a hidden cave, pulls on a mask, and becomes the mysterious, monster-thumping Princess in Black. Across these six short, illustrated chapter books, she battles a horde of suspiciously hungry bunnies, rescues her own birthday party from disaster, defends the goat pasture while supposedly on holiday, uncovers a second masked hero at a playdate, and saves a science fair from a runaway goo monster. Each story is told in bite-sized chapters with plenty of white space, bold dialogue, and gentle cliffhangers, making them ideal for children building reading stamina and confidence. Charming black-and-white and colour illustrations bring Princess Magnolia, her unicorn-in-disguise Frimplepants, and a cast of fellow princesses vividly to life on every page. Beneath the comedy and monster-battling, the stories quietly explore kindness, teamwork, and the idea that heroes come in all shapes — including tiaras. It's a series adored by parents, teachers and librarians for making early independent reading genuinely fun, and this six-book collection is the perfect way to enjoy the whole first arc of Magnolia's double life in one go.
