My name is Clare and I am a children's bookseller. As part of my job I write book reviews, some get published and some never see the light of day. This blog collects together all my kids book reviews, everything from picture books to young adult novels. Many of these I've read as preview copies, but I won't publish the review here until after the book is published. (Spoilers, sweetie). You won't find any bad reviews here, these are all books I love.

The Princess in Black by Shannon and Dean Hale
Princess Magnolia is having cocoa with a Duchess when the monster alarm rings. She needs to make her excuses fast, get into her ninja outfit, saddle up her unicorn and defeat the monster threat to her kingdom. Will she manage to keep her identity a secret from the nosey Duchess and the clever goat herd? Will she drive the monsters away from her kingdom? It's certainly no tea party being this princess.
With 15 short chapters and fun friendly illustrations by LeUyen Pham The Princess in Black is great for new readers or for younger children who want to hear a long story. If you've ever wished there was a princess story that didn't start with a pretty dress and end in marriage. Or wished for a superhero story with a strong female character. Then this is the book for you and your kids.
For ages 4-8.
