The Princess in Black may know how to handle all kinds of monsters, but a kitten set on destruction? Me-OW!
Duchess Wigtower had heard that pets are fun, but all her kitten has gotten her is nine lives' worth of problems. Eeeeek! It's time for someone else to deal with this catastrophe. Princess Magnolia is thrilled when a kitten lands on her doorstep, but just as she's about to play with Plumpkins (or should it be Hugmaster Floof?) the monster alarm goes off. When Princess Magnolia returns to her castle, her furry companion has carved up the wallpaper! In fact, each time Princess Magnolia leaves to help the Goat Avenger fight a very grouchy monster, her feline friend wreaks havoc. Has the Princess in Black finally met her match? Ten years after she first donned her cape, the Princess in Black returns for a purrfectly hilarious entry to the New York Times best-selling series.

      Grades K-2 Duchess Wigtower anonymously abandons her destructive pet kitten at Princess Magnolia's front door. The Princess in Black gleefully adopts the feline, who immediately begins destroying her castle. In between monster emergencies, the PIB reads up on kitten care, providing her pet with everything imaginable, and yet the fluff-ball continues ripping wallpaper, shredding pillows, clawing drapes, and pooping in her bedroom slippers. The remedy for a recent monster problem (a grouchy creature annoying goats because it is bored) inadvertently provides Magnolia with a workable solution to her own catastrophe, as well as introducing a new superhero companion for future adventures. Pham's colorful, cartoon art shines when portraying the mischievous kitty's defiant expressions as he wreaks havoc and Magnolia's baffled but indulgent response to the mayhem. By now readers know the PIB formula (numerous monster emergencies, an equal number of ninjaesque fight scenes, an ever-patient and pleasant Magnolia), and though this eleventh installment breaks no new ground, it is sure to please.

      Gr 2-4-The Princess in Black returns, this time facing both a grouchy monster and a mischievous kitten. Duchess Wigtower's kitten, after causing havoc, is left on Princess Magnolia's doorstep when the duchess can no longer handle him. Initially delighted by her new adorable pet, Princess Magnolia soon realizes how much trouble the kitten brings with his destructive behavior. As she tries to manage the kitten, the Goat Avenger calls her to deal with an equally grumpy monster. The humorous parallels between the unruly kitten and the grouchy monster add a playful touch, and the introduction of a new sidekick for the Princess in Black enhances the fun. The colorful, animated illustrations bring both the adorable kitten and the towering monster to life. VERDICT A must-have for fans of the series.
