The Princess in Black Triple Smash!

A parent might reach for this book when their child needs a fun, empowering model for balancing different parts of their personality and finding bravery in everyday situations. This collection contains three stories about the prim and proper Princess Magnolia, who leads a secret life as the monster-fighting Princess in Black. When her monster alarm rings, she must spring into action, whether it's during her bath, at a playdate, or during the school science fair. The book beautifully blends humor, action, and friendship, exploring themes of courage, identity, and teamwork. It's an ideal early chapter book for kids 6-9, especially those who love both princess glamour and superhero action, as it cleverly subverts gender stereotypes.
