The Princess in Black

Everyone thinks she's a perfectly normal princess in a pink dress and a pink castle, but her secret identity is the Princess in Black. She fights the monsters and saves the day, with help from her trusty horse. This book is broken down into short easy chapters, perfect for a first chapter book.
