How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for girls ages 5-9
Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017
I got this for a struggling third grade reader. She loved it. We read the whole series.
Then I brought it home and read it aloud to my five year old daughter who absolutely LOVED them. We read them all (again),
Our public library happened to have a Princess in a Black event this summer - my five year old was too excited. We went and she was able to talk all about the books with the "bigger girls".
The bright colorful illustrations do assist as context clues. There are also lots of opportunities for predicting/inferring.
While this series may not go down in history as great literature of our time - it got two different aged girls (5 & 9) to enjoy reading. That's a success in my eyes! We can't wait for the next book to come out in September!

3.0 out of 5 starsProbably the least favorite among the Princess in Black books
Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2019
My girl did not really enjoy this book as much as she did with the other ones of the same series. If you haven't read #1 than you will enjoy it, otherwise the plot is really too similar. I would recommend to skip this one and read #3 that, instead, is really nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves it
Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2019

My six year old daughter loves The Princess in Black. I personally find the stories a bit repetitive, but it’s just what she needs as a beginning reader. It’s right in between an easy reader and a chapter book. The story is engaging, the illustrations are beautiful, and the pages are high quality - nice and glossy (I love when a book feels good to hold). I highly recommend this book (and this series in general) to any little girl (or boy) who loves both princesses and adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Reading Level for 2nd Grade Girl
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018
Verified Purchase
I bought this as a gift for an 8 year-old girl (2nd grader) for Christmas. She loved it so much that she read it at least three times within the first week. Considering that this book was competing with other Christmas gifts, I view it as a huge it. She and her little sister have been playing hero-princess a lot, too. I've already ordered more Princess in Black books.

This book contains 15 chapters, each about 4-5 pages long. A serious child reader will ignore the chapters and plow on through. I love the chapter breaks because they allow me to tell her to stop after X chapters to get ready for bed, pick up toys, eat, etc.

Overall, the book seemed right at her reading level. There are some more difficult words, particularly some of the proper names, e.g. "Frimplepants" and "Euphoria". This added to the mystery and excitement for her. This book wasn't too "easy" but had just the right amount of challenges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute series!
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2020

My daughter loves these books. She is four and just starting to read so she cannot read them herself. My husband and I read them to her and they are quick and cute. A good transition into chapter books for a child.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great story and illustrations!
Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2018

I bought the first book in this series for my five year old when the illustrator visited my son's school. LeUyen Pham took the time to draw a picture of my daughter in the front of our book. We were all incredibly impressed with her. She's so nice, personable and fun. Anyway, my daughter loved the first book so much (the pictures and storyline) that she asked for us to buy this one too. We love them and will continue to keep purchasing more Princess in Black books in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Books for Beginning Readers
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2017

I bought this book at the request of my grandchild who is in second grade and must read for homework every night. While I only bought two of "The Princess" books, she loves them. I like them because the stories keep her interested and she will read for her entire 30 minutes without putting up a struggle.

My 5 year old loves these books. They’re great to introduce young readers to chapter books, when we first got it I thought we’d read through it in a couple of nights. But it held her attention so well we read the whole thing at bedtime and she wanted to read it again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic story about an empowered princess
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2019

The princess in black series has been wonderful for my daughter. She's going through a small princess phase and it's nice to be able to satisfy that with a series about a really empowered princess character.
