The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl: 2 Fuzzy, 2 Furious (A Squirrel Girl Novel, 2)
The Hales' blend of lighthearted adventure and familiar middle-grade dilemmas will send tweens scampering to the shelves." ―Booklist
Doreen Green, age fourteen, is a little too busy wiping out crime in her suburban New Jersey neighborhood to focus on her overdue homework. That's because she also happens to be Squirrel Girl, a bushy-tailed, squirrel-powered Super Hero!
After foiling the nefarious plot of an amateur Super Villain, Squirrel Girl is finally finding her groove--and group texting with the Avengers, like, all the time. Doreen, on the other hand, is still trying to navigate friendships, evil teachers, and all the pitfalls that come with middle school. (Seriously, it's complicated.)
An announcement goes out that sends waves of excitement through the community: There's a new mall opening on the border of Shady Oaks and neighboring town Listless Pines, and they all get to vote on the mall's mascot! Everyone goes wild over the election . . . a little too wild, if you ask Squirrel Girl and her BHFF (Best Human Friend Forever), Ana Sofia. Soon the two towns are at war--even the trusty Squirrel Scouts are going berserk.
Is there something sinister at work in Shady Oaks? Something that has less to do with quality shopping choices and more to do with world domination? And will Squirrel Girl be able to unleash the furry paws of justice in time to save the day?

The Princess in Black and the Trick-Or-Treating Trouble
Where is the real Princess in Black? A case of hilarious costume confusion leads some neighborhood trick-or-treaters to discover their inner heroes thanks to the power of a good disguise.
It's a dark and silly night, and Princess Magnolia is wearing her Princess in Black cape and mask over her clothes--just enough to pass as a Halloween costume in a hurry. She can't wait to go trick-or-treating! This year, Princess in Black costumes are popular, and so are monster disguises, like the little orange guy with horns yelling "GOAT!" as the kids shout "trick or treat!" When the little monster devours an onion, however, along with an eraser and a bar of soap (not to mention a rock), and as he politely asks for a goat at each door, it's clear to Princess Magnolia that something isn't quite right. And--oh no--the next house is Duff's goat shack! With half of her monster-fighting outfit at home, who can come to the poor critters' rescue? Halloween hijinks meet high-spirited heroics in a special Princess in Black adventure that's a treat all around.
