I love this series, and with this installment of the princess in desperate need of a break and some rest, the Hales provided this mama even more to love. Fantastic.

Yay! A brand-new PiB book. This time our princess is trying to go on a vacation, but will she be able to rest?
The fourth book is here, and we can now enjoy a warm beach vacation in the midst of autumn (though it feels kind of like winter). :P
The poor princess, she was truly pooped from all the monster defeating. It makes me wonder why, until now, there was apparently no one else who also does the monster defeating. You would think if there is one person, there are bound to be more. Just one hero can't save everything, all the time. We can see that clearly that this taking toll on our princess. So I am happy with the addition of the Goat Avenger. Even though that one has a lot, really a lot, to learn.
I am also still laughing at the fact that apparently no one, really no one, can deduce who these 2 are. Though with that ending, I feel like someone does know. Why else would that person do that? I can't wait to see if my feeling is right, I do hope so, it would be fun!
The beach vacation was a delight, I loved how the beach stands looked, and also how lovely and beautiful the beach was (sorry, but here seas aren't bright blue, or beaches yellowish).
Of course we could have guessed that the monsters wouldn't allow our superhero to have a break.
I was cheering for our princess to keep on going, to just defeat him so she could have her rest.
I won't tell you if she got her rest, or if she defeated the monster, but I was definitely happy with the ending.
We also have the Goat Avenger parts, and see him do his best to keep the peace in the pasture.
Oh yes, and I definitely have to give points to the creative names that our boy and girl use when defeating a monster (or practising on defeating one).
All in all, I definitely enjoyed this book and I would recommend it. As for me? I want more PiB!

Everyone needs a vacation, even a super hero/princess! We have Goat boy ready for action and not getting any monster problems and Princess is getting all of them when she just wanted to get away for a while. I love the design of the sea monster is so fun. ~Ashley

I love this whole series. I got the idea to listen to audiobooks with my 3-year-old at bedtime and decided that The Princess in Black was a great option because we already have (and have read) several of the books. My daughter is already familiar with the characters, so the transition has been pretty easy. We just snuggle up together and listen to a few chapters (or sometimes a whole book; each one runs 15-20 minutes long). We're not listening to them in order, because it's based almost entirely on what's available from the library, but this series doesn't necessarily need to be read in order (although it is helpful strictly because new characters are introduced occasionally). The only downside to listening to these instead of reading them is that you miss out on [a:LeUyen Pham|65333|LeUyen Pham|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1358278503p2/65333.jpg]'s fantastic illustrations.

My niece really enjoys this series and it's not a chore to read this to her a couple of times.

This was a funny one. Even on a vacation the princess can't catch a break. And Goat Avenger finally makes his debut!

Originally published on my blog, Cassie's Babblings. I borrowed a copy of this book from my local library.
Another favorite middle grade book! I am always highly entertained by Princess in Black. She is perfect for those who have just started reading chapter books on their own. I'd definitely recommend this series to those who really like action and princesses.
