What Is The Correct Series Order For The Princess In Black?

Which book comes after The Princess in Black and the Perfect Princess Party? I have the third one, but the publishing order online seems confusing for kids.

Okay, real talk: the correct order is whatever gets a kid reading. If they pick up book seven first and love it, fantastic! They can always circle back. The beauty of these books is their accessibility. Each story explains the premise quickly for new readers. That said, if you're a parent building a bedtime routine, starting from the beginning gives you a lovely long runway of material. You'll appreciate the callbacks and running jokes more. But never let order anxiety become a barrier. The most important thing is the joy of the story.

Libraries usually shelve them in Dewey Decimal order, which means they're alphabetized by title. So 'The Princess in Black' comes first, then '...and the Bathtime Battle', etc. That often matches the series order, but not always, because 'The Princess in Black and the Giant Problem' comes after '...and the Mermaid Princess' alphabetically? Actually, 'G' comes before 'M'. Huh. Maybe it's close enough. Point is, browsing the library shelf might give you a roughly correct order if they're all there.

Practical tip: Most online bookstores like Amazon list the series in order on the series page. Wikipedia also has a list. But the simplest way is to remember the first one, then know that every sequel has 'and the' in the title. There are nine main books so far. Write them down on a note for your next library visit. Or take a screenshot of this thread! Problem solved.

My only contribution is that LeUyen Pham's art is fantastic in all of them. The order probably doesn't matter for appreciating that, but I'm sure the style evolves a bit over the books. Something to look for if you read them in sequence.

If you're using them for teaching, publication order works fine. But you could also group them by literacy skill: books with more repetitive phrases first, books with more complex vocabulary later. Teachers Pay Teachers probably has guides that match books to specific phonics or comprehension goals. In that context, the 'best' order is whatever meets the educational objective.

My ebook library has them all, and I just sorted them by chronological setting date in my reading app. That's the cold, tech solution to the problem. The metadata for historical fiction usually includes the year range. So I just created a 'Cousins' War' collection and ordered it by the start year. It listed them as: Lady of the Rivers (1430s), White Queen (1464), Red Queen (1453), Kingmaker's Daughter (1465), White Princess (1485), King's Curse (1499). Even that's not perfect because 'Red Queen' starts earlier but spans a longer time. But it got me 90% there.

My son loved starting with 'The Princess in Black and the Mysterious Playdate.' It's a later book, but the plot about a playdate with a fellow secret-hero princess totally hooked him. He then wanted to go back to the start to see the 'original' Princess in Black. Sometimes starting with a high-concept entry (a playdate with a superhero twist) creates a hook that makes them eager to consume the back catalog. So a non-linear approach can work brilliantly as a strategy.

The audiobons are fantastic, narrated by Julia Whelan. On Audible or Libro.fm, they're listed in the correct sequence. Listening in order lets you appreciate the consistency in character voices. The Duchess's haughty tone is a running joke that builds. You can just download them as they appear in the series list on the store page.

For a buddy read or book club, I'd strictly enforce publication order. It ensures everyone is on the same page (literally) for discussions. Jumping around with prequels mid-series would fragment the conversation and lead to spoilers for those who haven't read the extra material yet. Keep it simple for group dynamics.

How do The Princess in Black books connect in chronological order?

2 Answers2026-08-20 00:08:56
Comparing it to series like 'Dog Man' or 'Narwhal and Jelly', the connection is even looser. Those series sometimes have recurring villains or longer arcs. 'Princess in Black' is more like a sitcom. Very little changes in the status quo from episode to episode, and that's its comfort. You know exactly what you're getting, and that's the appeal. The chronological connection is merely the episode number. It tells you how many variations on the theme you've enjoyed, not how the story has progressed. For kids who crave predictability and repetition as they build reading skills, this is a godsend. The order is just a count of how many times you've visited this delightful, familiar world.

The sheer number of books now is daunting. After 'The Sinner', the timeline gets... flexible. Characters from spin-offs pop into main books with little introduction. I think the ideal mix is to read the main series, and whenever a new character is introduced that has their own book, pause and read that book. It's not perfect, but it keeps the world cohesive.

Are there any companion books to The Princess in Black and how do they fit in order?

4 Answers2026-08-20 00:00:35
The companions are fantastic because they often involve crossovers with other Hale characters in subtle ways or explore a single theme deeply. 'The Science Fair Scare' is all about project-based learning gone wrong, and 'The Mermaid Princess' is about family visits and different cultures (even if one culture is terrestrial and the other aquatic). For order, they're published as standalone events. Read the main series linearly for the gentle progression of the Princess's secret life. Read the companions as celebratory breaks. Imagine them as big, two-part episodes in a TV season. They're self-contained but use the established characters to tell a bigger, thematic story.

Is there a different order for The Princess in Black chapter books and collections?

Collections can be misleading if you’re a completionist. For example, 'Three Princesses and a Lot of Trouble' contains books 7, 8, and 9. If you buy that thinking it’s an early collection, you’ve jumped ahead. Always check the fine print or the ISBN listing to see which individual books are included in a collection volume.
