The Princess in Black and the Bathtime Battle by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale

4.0

A terrible smell is torturing everyone and the Princess in Black must work with other masked defenders to fight it. Readers will enjoy the compelling plot, the consistent structure/humor throughout, and the range of diverse characters here. However, considering all of the princesses that are now heroes, it's a little silly that they can't figure out who the others are, and some disguises are better than others. The end also gives the impression that there is much more to come from this series, so fans can only wait and see!

For: fans of princesses and superheroes; readers wanting a quick starter chapter book.

Possible red flags: monster fighting; gross-out humor.
