desertcart.com: The Princess in Black Takes a Vacation: 9780763694517: Hale, Shannon, Hale, Dean, Pham, Leuyen: Books

Review: Absolutely love it! - I am delighted to highlight this new book in one of my very favorite series. Shannon Hale and Dean Hale, along with LeUyen Pham have created a truly winning series. In this volume, the Princess in Black has discovered that one of the downsides to having a double identity is very little sleep. Frankly, she's exhausted, and when the Goat Avenger suggests she take a vacation while he watches out for monsters, she's more than happy to agree. Unfortunately, once she's at the beach, things take a turn for the worse when a sea monster shows up to create chaos. Can the Princess in Black save the day again or will she stay in hiding with her friend Princess Sneezewort? Once again, the Hales and Pham have created the perfect book. A delightful text with great read a loud potential (lots of sound effects built right in) and the gorgeous illustrations that highlight poor Princess Marigold's utter exhaustion. I felt tired just looking at her. I especially love the fact that Princess Marigold is a pink-loving sweetheart and a black-wearing monster fighter at the same time. So often society tells kids they need to fit into one neat box or another, with no cross-over between them. But in reality no one fits into a nice, neat little box, and these books demonstrate that to perfection. I'm sorry I'm gushing, but I really do love this series. If you haven't tried it yet I highly recommend that you do.
Review: Great for girls ages 5-9 - I got this for a struggling third grade reader. She loved it. We read the whole series. Then I brought it home and read it aloud to my five year old daughter who absolutely LOVED them. We read them all (again), Our public library happened to have a Princess in a Black event this summer - my five year old was too excited. We went and she was able to talk all about the books with the "bigger girls". The bright colorful illustrations do assist as context clues. There are also lots of opportunities for predicting/inferring. While this series may not go down in history as great literature of our time - it got two different aged girls (5 & 9) to enjoy reading. That's a success in my eyes! We can't wait for the next book to come out in September!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My 7 year old LOVES Princess in Black.
*by N***O on April 28, 2020*

My 7 year old first grader LOVES these books. They are so fun inside with colorful pictures, the writing isn’t too small and the stories keep her wanting to read more. She reads each book in about two nights, And begs me to get her the next one. I ended up buying the whole series on here because she was so excited to read the next book once she finished one of them. I was so excited to see her so excited about reading and not wanting to put down these books.
