Princess Magnolia eagerly heads
off with her entry to the science fair. She is thrilled to see all of the other
princesses projects and hopes to have a great day. But things don’t go as
planned when an experiment goes wrong and a monster is created. Princess
Magnolia must become The Princess in Black and join with her fellow masked
heroes to stop it from destroying the science fair.
This series was popular at my
library, and this newest book would be a fun addition. Even the kindergarten
classes at my school were doing science experiments and being walked through
the science fair each year, so an early reader would have context as well. I
like the lessons about being positive, working together, persistence, and that
winning isn’t everything. The only thing I sort of don’t care for about this series
is that to be a hero you have to keep it a secret. Of course the illustrations
are just darling and will really help new readers to make their way through the
story.
