The Princess in Black and the Giant Problem by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale
5.0
Shannon and Dean Hale's characteristic whimsy and humor are again present in The Princess in Black and the Giant Problem.
This playful series is a favorite with my seven-year-old daughter, and I enjoy experiencing them with her, as they are fun to read and I appreciate the diverse characters and the colorful illustrations.
Young readers will enjoy feeling like they are smarter than the characters in the book, because they know the truth about who Princess in Black is, as well as the expansive cast of characters, when the characters seemingly don't recognize each other.
At quick count, in this installment, fourteen heroes (both new and old) band together to save the village from a squashing giant. I delighted in the new sidekicks and confess my favorite one is now "Coatrack!"
(I received a digital ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.)
