Getting this little Powerpuff Girls ARC felt like opening a tiny time capsule.
It’s a small book, simple and clearly aimed at young readers, so there isn’t much to analyze in terms of plot or depth. But honestly? That’s not the point.
I grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls on Cartoon Network, back when you had to wait for episodes to air. No streaming. No rewinding. No “I’ll just watch one more.” You waited. You were excited. And when the theme song started, it felt like an event. There was something magical about that rhythm, the anticipation, the routine, the comfort.
Reading this book brought all of that back. The colors, the energy, the chaotic sweetness of Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup. The show wasn’t just fun; it was powerful. It gave little girls heroes who were small but unstoppable. They were emotional, dramatic, kind, fierce... and they saved the world before bedtime. That mattered.
Even in this simple children’s format, that spirit is still there. And it reminded me why the show meant so much.
I was over the moon when I saw this title on NetGalley. As a Powerpuff Girls fan, I just knew I had to give this adorable book a go!
Aww, this was such a sweet and powerful story of love, sisterhood and friendship. Three chapters with lovely illustrations and the girls having some sleepover fun and overcoming an unexpected attack.
I highly recommend reading this short but meaningful read to all ages, especially if you are a Powerpuff Girls fan! ♡
The Powerpuff Girls are having a sleepover and unfortunately they have to invite Princess Morbucks, their snooty classmate who wants to be a Powerpuff Girl. The girls lay down the law that she has to behave as soon as the party starts, but, Princess being Princess has a plan for the girls once they fall asleep! Will the girls be able to stop her?
No self-respecting Millennial wouldn't jump at the chance to read a Powerpuff girls book! This was a really quick chapter book based off of an episode of the original show that would be perfect for parents to read to younger kiddos or for the older kiddos who can read to read on their own but may not be ready for longer chapter books yet. It's also got a really fun drawing tuturial at the back to learn how to draw Princess and Buttercup, which I may even take a crack at! There's also a glossary at the back, which I really wish books had these when my kids were younger, and some Think About It questions. I'm not going to lie these I may actually skip some of them, one asks to describe Princess and well I mean she's a jerk so maybe not that one. The other talks about what would you bring to a sleepover and that's a thing that not all kids are going to do for a ton of reasons, so I'd probably skip that as well unless I knew the child I was reading it with. The rest are actually great questions that pertain both to the book and the kiddo's world.
As always thanks to NetGalley and Capstone for the eArc!

What a blast from the past! The moment I saw the cover, I knew I had to give the book a read to see if I can share with my nephews and nieces. The Power Puff Girls are back!
The book is an excellent short, but action-packed, story about the Power Puff Girls hosting a sleepover for all the girls in their class, including one of the series villains, Princess. What better way to have revenge on your rivals than during a sleepover? I believe this was an episode in the show as I did find myself remembering bits and pieces, but it translated very well in book form.
The writing is easy to understand for a younger audience but still exciting to keep them going. And the illustrations, oh the illustrations, they are beautiful. Vibrant, animated and beautiful that make you feel as if you're watching an episode from the classic series.
If you're looking for a cozy yet action-packed short read for your young reader, I'd give this a try. You might want to sneak a read yourself if you're a millennial parent. I know I did.
I love how there’s this great series of easy-to-read chapter books of one of my favorite tv shows.
The cover and the illustrations inside, are just perfect! Colorful and cute, like our 3 little heroes!
I really enjoyed the story and the illustrations.
In this little adventure, our 3 sisters: fearless leader Blossom, sweet Bubbles and tough Buttercup, are having a sleepover. But they had to invite their whole class so that includes rich and spoiled Princess Morbucks. Princess wanted to be a Powerpuff Girl too but our 3 little heroes didn’t let her and as she always gets what she wants, this made her become a villain.
The sleepover starts off great!! There’s a pillow fight, snacks and as requested by Princess, storytime by Blossom. All the girls, except Princess, fall asleep. Exactly what Princess intended! With her Dream Machine 500, she can enter dreams and in them, she is stronger than ever! And she has a few tricks up her sleeve. But money can’t buy everything, like a strong sisterly bond!
This had the best ending, so unexpectedly kind. I loved everything about this little book! It had fun, action and some great life lessons. And it isn’t over when the story ends. There’s some drawing fun, a glossary and some great questions to think about, included.

•Plot: Sleepover Sneak Attack is a short story on PowerPuff Girls, inviting Princess Morbucks over for a slumber party. •What I liked: If you’re new to Powerpuff Girls, the first few pages give an overview of them with an illustration and label them. So, you know who is who. Although it is told in story format, some words are emphasized, making it more entertaining to read. •What I didn't expect: I thought this was going to be a comic, because it was listed in the comics section, but it’s not. •Themes / Ideas: Sibling protection & money can’t buy happiness. •Who I’d recommend it to: Young readers or fans of the Powerpuff Girls.
Overall/Thoughts: Great for young readers that is familiar or brand new to the Powerpuff Girls It’s a book with supporting images throughout.
Overall, this was a fun, engaging read and a total nostalgia hit.
The book is short and easy to read, with illustrations throughout. I’ll admit, there were more words than I initially expected—I went in thinking this would be a mostly wordless comic—but there are enough visuals to keep the youngest readers engaged.
The plot centers on a sleepover and one particularly mischievous guest. While the girls face off against Princess in classic Powerpuff fashion, the heart of the story is their sisterly bond. Blossom’s leadership, Bubbles’ heart, and Buttercup’s toughness each shine, but the message is clear: they may be superheroes individually, but they’re strongest together.
Thank you NetGalley, Kiara Valdez, Capstone, and Picture Window Books for the advanced reader copy. This review is voluntary and all opinions are my own.
⭐4/5 Page count: 32 Time taken to read: 3 minutes Very cute and short light novel. The Powerpuff girls have done it again, and this time they were at a sleepover. Princess Morbucks who is also at the sleepover, causes chaos because she's jealous of the girls. Since Princess morbucks also wanted to be a Powerpuff girl but was refused, she became a villain and starts a fight with the girls. The girls team up and find a way to fight against princess Morbucks' powerful machine which her daddy built for her with which the holder can use to change somebody's dreams.
Thank you to NetGalley for giving me a copy to review!
Ahh the nostalgia. I loved the Power Puff Girls when I was a kid. I vaguely remember Princess. This was super cute but I didn't understand the punishment. I would assume she would like dresses. Why is putting her in a dress humorous? Does her character not like them? I genuinely don't understand. Is it an ugly dress? It looks cute enough. Little kids love playing dress up. So yeah I don't get the punishment but otherwise this was cute. I loved the vocab and questions at the end!
Thank you NetGalley for a copy of this book. I thought this book was super cute and I've always loved the Powerpuff Girls! I think a child about 8 or 9 would really enjoy this one. It was easy to read and the pictures were very bright and well done.
This was cute and fun to read. I do think it should have had more chapters and more on the fight scenes when Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup were fighting Princess Morbucks in their dreams. It really hit nostalgia for me since I grew up watching The Powerpuff Girls.
I LOVE the Powerpuff Girls! I was so excited to see this one pop up. The story is good and so it the design. I’ll definitely be sharing this one with my kids.
Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Read this for free on Net Galley. Thank you so much to the publisher, Capstone! Such a cute little chapter book. Gave me nostalgia for the show I used to watch as a young kid. I enjoyed it, and it was a nice, quick read. Great for any kid who is ready to start reading chapter books!
