\nStarred Review
\nReview written December 9, 2019, from a library book<\/p>\n

I love the Princess in Black! These are simple chapter books with lots of pictures. They include fun stories about princesses who disguise themselves as heroes who fight monsters \u2013 and one goat boy who disguises himself as the Goat Avenger. They are rewarding for beginning readers and a whole lot of fun.<\/p>\n

In this latest installment, the foe is a horrible stinky smell. How do you fight a smell?<\/p>\n

As the Princess in Black and the Goat Avenger manage to blow the stink away, it goes into other kingdoms, so other heroes come and investigate. But that\u2019s a good thing. When they discover that the source of all the trouble is a super-stinky monster, the stink is so bad, it takes all the heroes working together to clean up the stink.<\/p>\n

I like the way Shannon Hale and Dean Hale use some of the same elements in each book \u2013 but add something new every time. In this book, the battle is about bathtime. And I love that all the heroes get to take part.<\/p>\n

This book encourages the reader to think what kind of hero they can be.<\/p>\n
