Description

Harriet Hamsterbone doesn't go looking for trouble. Somehow it always finds her. So she isn't completely shocked when a salesman attempts to sell her some magic beans, or when one of those beans grows into a towering beanstalk leading up into the clouds. But even Harriet is surprised to find a giant castle - complete with one very poetically challenged giant - at the top of it. And she certainly never thought she would make a new friend named Strings who is half harp, half hamster. But Strings isn'tthe giant's guest - she and a rather large goose are his prisoners! This calls fora heroic rescue, and Harriet is just the hamster for the job.

Reviews

"Clever wordplay, wonderful character banter, and stinky humor make this outing another giant success." Kirkus

"All the Hamster Princess hallmarks are here: clever repartee, graphic-style illustrations, and a delightfully twisted fairy tale. Harriets fanssurely she has a kingdoms worth by nowwill happily strap in for the ride.Booklist
