Reach for this book when your child is grappling with the concept of fairness or feeling frustrated by peers who use status to get their way. It provides an accessible entry point for discussing why rules exist and why money or power should not determine what is right. By using a familiar superhero setting, it makes the heavy concept of legal justice feel manageable and even funny for young readers. In this adventure, the spoiled Princess Morbucks literally buys the city of Townsville and makes crime legal just to spite the Powerpuff Girls. As Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup struggle to save a city where the law is against them, children learn about the importance of community integrity and the difference between following the letter of the law and doing what is truly good. It is a lighthearted yet thought-provoking read for the 7 to 10 age group.
