Review

A very memorable addition to the stories about princesses. This princess has a secret identity as well as her unicorn. Her job as the "Princess in Black" is to protect the goats from the goat-eating monsters. While she is out on a rescue mission she has to leave a nosy Duchess at her palace. Princess Magnolia is worried that the Duchess will find out her secret. The names of the characters are very clever. There is a goat boy who is a very important character that adds so much charm to this really enticing tale. For readers who can breeze through Bink and Gollie by Kate DiCamillo this will be a great book to read.

*Cream of the Crop nominee

Overall Book Score: excellent
