I received this as an ARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Princess Magnolia is attending the science fair and after looking around at the projects of her peers, she realizes hers isn't as awesome as the others. One project is a volcano, which has a secret troublesome ingredient. When the monster in the volcano decides to make his presence known, the Princess in Black and a few of her sidekicks come to the rescue. This novel is a cute quick read with a variety of princesses. I have been hearing about this series forever and after getting the signed ARC from the publisher, I thought I would give it a try. I can certainly see some beginning chapter book readers getting into this story.

As cute as the previous ones. I like that the characters love helping others and not just to be seen helping. Good messages, cute illustrations, fun stories.

One of the cutest children’s chapter books I’ve ever read. You meet several princesses who are all diverse, and the titular character Princess in Black, who is a hero, she is tasked with saving the schools science fair from the goo monster, whom was accidentally created instead of a volcano explosion.
My favorite princesses are Snapdragon and Orchid. With the help of their “non powered” friends, and helped find a new home for the Goo Monster, you even got to meet the Goat Avenger.
Definitely recommend for children under 10.

I received a digital copy of this book from NetGalley for an honest review.
Another fantastic addition to the Princess in Black series, this time with a nod to SCIENCE! LeUyen Pham’s art is phenomenal (I can’t wait until 2020, her year to illustrate the material for the summer reading program via CSLP) and partners with the text for an amazing story. I would frame and hang art from this book (and other PiB books) in my house, I love it so much. The diversity of characters who attend and participate in the titular science fair is beautiful, not to mention the easter eggs of hints towards monsters in the big spreads!
Now that I’ve gushed about the art (and could continue for pages, describing my favorite of Pham’s animals), let’s turn to the text. I love the clear and simple ways science experiments and ideas are woven into the story--perfect for any kid a little nervous about their first science fair or who need a friendly introduction to the ways of science. Animals! Air pressure! Physics! MONSTERS! I can’t wait to share this book with young library patrons and to see what comes next in the series (please never stop with PiB).

Lots of princesses, lots of problems at the Science Fair. For a beginning reader, I thought this one had a lot of characters to keep track of.

Another great installment in Princess Magnolia's continuing adventures. This is such a great series and I'm always glad to see a new one. If you've liked the others you'll enjoy this one too as it has all cuteness, team work, problem solving and strong female protagonists that we've come to expect from the series.
