Summer is just around the corner and I know many parents will be looking for reading inspiration for their children. I was recently sent three of Ursula Vernon's books. One of them is - Hamster Princess Book 1 - Harriet the Invincible. Naturally I had to crack open the cover and give it a read. I mean look at that cover art! Pink Purple and glitter! This particular story is a take off of sleeping beauty and Harriet is our princess. Featuring 26 chapters in a mixture of a chapter book and a bit of a graphic novel, this book is just plan fun. This is a fast paced book and Harriet is a feisty protagonist! Little girls every where will love reading all about her!
About:
Harriet Hamsterbone, aka Hamster Princess, garnered four starred reviews for her role as the heroine of
Harriet the Invincible, a reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. Following the critical acclaim that greeted
Harriet the Invincible upon release, the book appeared on numerous “Best of” year-end lists and earned several award nominations. Now, in
Of Mice and Magic, Vernon brings readers another epic
adventure full of laugh-out-loud escapades, this one a fresh take on the
classic tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses.
It’s no wonder that Harriet is such a hit: she is most definitely
not your average princess. She does not excel at traditional princess
arts such as needlepoint or looking ethereal, and she’s a terrible
damsel in distress. She does the rescuing...when she's not jousting,
cliff-diving, or fighting ogrecats, that is!
These fractured fairy tales, with their unique
graphic novel / chapter book hybrid format, are perfect for fans of
Babymouse and Shannon Hale’s
Princess in Black. And in a world full of Timmy Failures, Wimpy Kids, and Big Nates, Hamster Princess fills a gap in the genre with a feisty female protagonist that can hold her own.
