It was So funny!!!
April 21, 2019
It is time for the 4th kindness act so our princess can become a sir (or well, whatever name she wants).
I was delighted that Library #1 had this one in stock, hopefully they will have book 5 soon as well, I need to continue reading this one. But given it took them so long to get this one, I guess I will be waiting for a while. :P
This time our trio hits a new kingdom, Yabko-kokomo. Quite soon they discover that things are going weird in this kingdom, and of course our princess is delighted by this misfortune. Yep. It means that she can continue her kindness quest. She still has many of those ahead of her, 5 in total, and so she is very eager for each and every one even if it comes over as if she wants to wish people misfortune.
I was kind of curious to see if there was really a monster or if there was just something else going on. Knowing this series there is always something else happening or something happens that causes a whole chain of events (and generally mean that someone is getting kidnapped).
I was really proud of our princess, she is learning so much and while she still has some attitude problems she shows that she is growing up. She finds out about family and that it doesn’t just mean her kingdom. She learns to plan and craft and save her friends. She learns that maybe princess school wasn’t so bad. And tons of the other things. Her character growth is just amazing, I love how she is changing. I think that by the end of her kindness quest she is a whole different person.
The other two Dribble and Lucas also show how awesome they are. Lucas is also growing and getting stronger + braver.
Of course there is tons and tons of humour (and puns), and while you are wondering about the title at first it all starts making sense later on.
This book is, like the others, delightfully (and hilariously) illustrated.
Recommended to all looking for a great protagonist, fun stories, puns puns and puns, dragons, and oh yes, tons of grilled cheese sandwiches. Mmmm.

Quit Buggin Me (Princess Pulverizer#4) Nancy Krulik, 133 pages. Penguin, 2018 $16
Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G
BUYING ADVISORY: EL(K-3) -OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Princess Pulverizer is off to find another good deed to accomplish (the only way her father will let her attend knight school). Together with her good friends, the knight Lucas and the dragon Dribble, they find a town that needs their help. People have gone missing and there are holes in the ground all over the apple orchard. Features lots of fun illustrations throughout.
I have been a big fan of this series, girl power and all, but this is my least favorite of the books so far. It’s a big convoluted and confusing. I am not sure even girl power fans would like all the gross out stuff –I didn’t. One thing that still kind of jars me is how little the princess still cares about actually helping out, just accomplishing her end goal- I was hoping by now we would see a glimmer of actual caring.

The town of Yabko-kokomo is being terrorized by a Beast. It has already made several citizens disappear. Princess Pulverizer is thrilled. Another chance to do a good deed! Lucas and Dribble are not so thrilled with the prospect of taking on a mean beasty, but they are loyal so they head off to see if they can help. And they stumble into an orchard with a big mole problem and a not-so-noble knight.
Good to see Princess Pulverizer learning some more important lessons. She comes up with possibly the most horrifying piñata in the history of the world, but it is for a good cause. And Lucas and Dribble get a few moments to shine. Hand this to kids who like funny stories and fantasy quests.
Notes on content: No language issues or sexual content. Violence is threatened but everyone ends up ok.

The plot is interesting, but the main character is not really likable yet, as she is often self absorbed and self interested. I say "yet" because we have read # 1, 2 and 4 of this series and I think I detect her slowly developing virtue (which is how it usually comes: slowly) and for that reason, this gets 3 stars instead of 2 and it is worth continuing the series.

Princess Pulverizer is learning! When her friends disappear and she has to rescue them alone, she realizes how much she needs them. Also, when she learns who the"monster" is, she learns a valuable lesson about what a knight's character should be.

Princess Pulverizer and her companions go in search of a monster but find something different. The pacing in this one is a little odd, but it's mostly about Princess Pulverizer learning to appreciate her friends more.

2.5 stars?

Another cute addition to this series! Princess Pulverizer learns more about friendship and that strength and bravery aren’t the only things that can save the day.

Super cute! I liked #3 better but this was great too. I am excited to read #5.

When her friends go missing, Princess Pulverizer learns that home isn't necessarily a place. Loved the teamwork in this one!

Currently on constant repeat--which explains why she keeps randomly telling me she likes onions, but only when they are cooked, then asking me if we can eat some.

So far this has been my least favorite of this series. My daughter still loves Princess Pulverizer and Dribble!

We're starting to see much more character growth - and I feel like my kids are much more invested in the series too.
