Publisher's Summary:

A funny, feminist twist on the Cinderella fairy tale for fans of fractured fairy tales

Princess Harriet Hamsterbone is not the kind of princess who enjoys fancy dresses or extravagant parties. Cliff-diving, fractions, and whacking people with swords are more her thing. So when she's forced to attend a boring ball in honor of a visiting ambassador, Harriet is less than thrilled - until a bewitchingly beautiful stranger arrives.

Who is she? And where did she come from? The mystery leads to a not-so-wicked stepsister, an incontinent lizard, and a fairy's spell that's really more of a curse. Luckily, Harriet knows a thing or two about curses.

Smart, funny, and filled with swashbuckling adventure, book five in the critically acclaimed Hamster Princess series is a hilariously re-told fairy tale for the modern age.

Whisked away by Whiskerella

A great entry in a series that has been terrific from day one. My order arrived while I was at work on the night shift (at a bookstore, no less) and my evil husband texted me screenshots of him reading the book....without me!

There's so much opportunity in a fractured fairy tale and Vernon squeezes out every drop of humor and unconventional fun. She carries on the consistent message that a girl can choose who she wants to be with and shouldn't be forced into anything that isn't the right fit with lots of sly humor to keep the mood light. It's great to see favorite characters return (Wilbur, Mumfrey, Ratpunzel, Mom and Dad) as well as meeting new favorites. More of the Bat Ambassador, please! Maybe a trip to Batavia someday?

So happy to see another entry in the series and my only wistful complaint is that now I have to wait for the next one.

Another fun romp with Princess Harriet

Once again Ursula Vernon provides a fun skewering of a classic fairy tale. This hilarious take on Cinderella is action-packed and has a satisfying ending. Would be 5 stars, but a couple small internal inconsistencies were a little jarring - Ratpunzel's species changes from rat to mouse and back over the course of the book, and the name "Whiskerella" starts as a nickname Harriet makes up, which then everybody acts like is the character's actual name - but they're little nitpicks, and the intended audience of kids likely won't pick up on them. A really great addition to the Hamster Princess series, would highly recommend

Whiskerella

This book was thrilling to read and hd a lot of adventurous themes and it was full of action packed scenes. This book empowers females and Ursula did a really good job of making this book sad, happy and mysterious. I can't wait for the next Hamster Princess book to come out!

Great

This is another adventure for Princess Harriet and her friends. It is a funny take on Cinderella. It is my favorite story in the series so far.

I love fractured fairy tale takes

I'm such a sucker for this series. I love fractured fairy tale takes, and this one does a brilliant job keeping up the goofy fun while sneaking in quite a bit about choices and agency.

(Plus it has an adorable bat ambassador-Harriet in Batavia please! And great father-daughter bonding...)
