2 - The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party
3 - The Princess in Black and the Hungry Bunny Horde
4 - The Princess in Black Takes a Vacation
Books 1-3 were in an audiobook collection, while book 4 was a standalone audiobook. Since these books are easy chapter books, the audiobooks were very short - about 20 minutes each. Each book is read by narrator Julia Whelan. I thought I heard Whelan read before, but checking the blog I don't have her documented. Interesting. I liked her voice. She was youthful and gave different characters different voices or characteristics. I thought she maintained her character voices well between all four stories.
The stories are fun and for a young audience. It was a fine read for this youth librarian. They read very quickly. I can see the appeal for girls, guys, and families. The "battle scenes" were similar to retro Batman - *Bam!* and *Pow!* That was fun. I would recommend this to families to read together or readers who want to begin chapter books.
The Princess in Black, Books 1-3 reviewed from a library copy. I received The Princess in Black Takes a Vacation audiobook from Penguin Random House for an honest review. Thank you, Listening Library!
