Three Smashing Adventures

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels boxed in by expectations, or for a child who loves both sparkly princesses and action-packed superheroes. It perfectly bridges the gap for kids who feel they must be one thing (prim, proper) but secretly long to be another (adventurous, powerful). This early chapter book series follows Princess Magnolia, who leads a double life. By day, she is a perfect princess. But when monsters threaten her kingdom, she transforms into the heroic Princess in Black. The stories explore themes of identity, bravery, and challenging stereotypes with humor and charm, making it an empowering and entertaining choice for newly independent readers.
