Synopsis

It's Little Red Riding Hood as you've never seen her before in this funny, feminist spin on the fairy tale, from award-winning author Ursula Vernon Most monsters know better than to mess with Princess Harriet Hamsterbone. She's a fearsome warrior, an accomplished jouster, and is so convincing that she once converted a beastly Ogrecat to vegetarianism. So why would a pack of weasel-wolf monsters come to her for help? Well, there's something downright spooky going on in the forest where they live, and it all centers around a mysterious girl in a red cape. No one knows better than Harriet that little girls aren't always sweet. Luckily there's no problem too big or bad for this princess to solve. In this sixth installment of her whip-smart Hamster Princess series, Ursula Vernon once again upends fairy tale tropes and subverts gender stereotypes to brilliant effect. This is a "Once Upon a Time" like you've never seen before.

Goodreads review by Lis on November 28, 2018

Ursula Vernon is, as always, a delight. In this case, she takes the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and turns it inside out and sideways, with wonderful results. Princess Harriet Hamsterbone and her friend Wilbur respond to a plea from a very odd young hamster girl, dressed all in red, and mount thei......more

I love this series and always take a break from adult books when a new one comes along. Harriet the Hamster Princess is a great role model for young readers; she's brave, upstanding and usually ready to take advice from her sidekicks.......more

Goodreads review by Kenya on October 18, 2018

I've read and loved a lot of work by Ursula Vernon -- her "Dragonbreath" series, her fantasies written under the pen name of T. Kingfisher, and of course her "Hamster Princess" series. Despite the cutesy name and adorable art, these books are delightful and clever twists on well-known fairy tales, w......more

Goodreads review by Mary on April 13, 2019

This was my favorite twisted fairy tale of the series. I swear it keeps getting funnier. My daughter loved it too. She didn't want to read anything else until we finished this book first. So good.......more
