In book 10 of the Princess in Black series, Princess Magnolia accepts the help of a new hero, Prince in Pink (aka Prince Valerian), when a grumpy emu tries to destroy the Flower Festival Fair Ball. Typical Princess in Black outrageousness ensues. The characters have silly names, such as Princess Sneezewort, and the illustrations depict a variety of skin tones and Princess Snapdragon is of Asian descent. The large emu and his sidekicks, the Ostrich Twins (aka The Flightless Bird Herd), are comical. This early chapter book with numerous colorful illustrations will be enjoyed by the many fans of the series.
