For parents

What Parents Should Know

The books include fairy-tale peril—kidnapping, trolls, witches, pirates, magical creatures, and friends who need rescuing—but the danger is comic and written for early chapter-book readers.

Princess Pulverizer begins impatient and self-centered, so some poor choices are part of the joke and the lesson. Kindness, teamwork, courage, and making amends drive the series.
