Book Overview
Sleeping Beauty gets a feisty, furry twist in this hilarious new comic series from the creator of Dragonbreath Harriet Hamsterbone is not your typical princess. She may be quite stunning in the rodent realm (you'll have to trust her on this one), but she is not so great at trailing around the palace looking ethereal or sighing a lot. She finds the royal life rather . . . dull. One day, though, Harriet's parents tell her of the curse that a rat placed on her at birth, dooming her to prick her finger on a hamster wheel when she's twelve and fall into a deep sleep. For Harriet, this is most wonderful news: It means she's invincible until she's twelve After all, no good curse goes to waste. And so begins a grand life of adventure with her trusty riding quail, Mumfrey...until her twelfth birthday arrives and the curse manifests in a most unexpected way. Perfect for fans of Babymouse and Chris Colfer's Land of Stories , this laugh-out-loud new comic hybrid series will turn everything you thought you knew about princesses on its head.

Great for kids but clever enough to be enjoyed at any age!
Published by Jessica , 1 year ago
Very very cute and unique. Surprisingly feminist in an innocent, nonpolitical way. None of it feels forced or preachy. For example, hamsters keep telling Princess Harriet that she shouldn’t do certain things bc “princesses don’t do that” and she always says “well I do that and I’m a princess, so that's not true.”
The characters are very likeable and flawed. Overall, very well-written and charming. Laughed out loud several times! It's great for kids but it's clever enough to be enjoyed by any age.
