Illustrations.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A funny, feminist twist on the Cinderella fairy tale for fans of fractured fairy tales</b> <p/>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... <p/>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.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>An Indie Next List selection</b> <p/>* Readers will have a ball with this hilarious, charming story. <i>--Kirkus</i>, starred review <p/>Harriet, who charges through this adventure with her usual aplomb, shows no sign of slowing down. <i>--Booklist</i> <p/>VBoth series fans and newcomers with a taste for snark will devour this one. Multiple copies are a must. <i>-- School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Ursula Vernon is a full-time author and illustrator whose work has won a Hugo Award and been nominated for an Eisner. She loves birding, gardening, and spunky heroines, and thinks she would make a terrible princess. Ursula lives with her husband in Pittsboro, North Carolina.
