Hamster Princess: Of Mice And Magic Read Free Books and Download eBooks
Princess Harriet is nobody’s hamster damsel in distress! Book two of this series for Babymouse and Princess in Black fans is filled with even more action and twisted fairy tale fun Princess Harriet has absolutely no interest in brushing her hair, singing duets with woodland animals, or any other typical princess activities. So when a fairy tells a very bored Harriet about twelve mice princesses who are cursed to dance all night long, she happily accepts the quest and sets off with a poncho of invisibility and her trusty battle quail. But when she arrives at the Mouse Kingdom, she discovers there's more to the curse than meets the eye, and trying to help is dangerous business . . . even for a tough princess like Harriet. From the creator of Dragonbreath, comes a laugh-out-loud funny new comic-hybrid series, bursting with girl power and furry fairy tale retellings.

I pretty much inhaled this book right after picking it up, because once the kids saw it I knew I wouldn't get to touch it for ages. A delightful cast of characters, and once again the plot is not reliant on characters doing ridiculous or out of character things, but instead acting sensibly and dealing with real challenges. And it was just as funny as the previous Harriet and all the Dragonbreath books, too.
Of Mice and Magic gives a hard run to Merry Haskell's The Princess Curse for my favorite retelling of 12 Dancing Princesses. I think I will just declare them both splendid fun instead of trying to choose. This is the second appearance of Princess Harriet, and it's delightfully sassy and cute. I look forward eagerly to the rest of the series!
I really liked Book 1 in this series, but I LOVE Book 2, Of Mice and Magic! The plot is much tighter than Book 1, and the whole thing is a wildly creative, funny and empowering adventure based on The 12 Dancing Princesses. In this version, the princesses are saved not by a soldier who gets to make his choice among them but by fierce, sturdy Harriet the formerly-invincible hamster princess, who gallops in on her riding quail, Mumfrey, looks at the way the dancing princesses' father has treated them (locking them in their room overnight, etc) with a VERY skeptical eye, and helps them all figure out what THEY want to do next with their lives, as well as saving them from their curse. And it's just so funny throughout! I devoured it in an afternoon and laughed out loud again and again at the fabulous humor.Then I read it to my seven-year-old, who LOVED it, demanded more and more pages of it every night, and then immediately wanted Book 1 to be read to him.And neither of us can't wait for Book 3! Needless to say, we pre-ordered it.Hooray for hilarious, snarky hamster princesses and their riding-quail companions!
Love this Hamster Princess sequel! The cute and sassy hamster princess is back and ready for more action. The ambiguously invincible, and now semi-pro curse breaker is on the case -- I have no idea why but I get so into these books! I really need to get the other sequels! Vernon’s amazing tendency to add illustrations to enhance her story continues with everything from magic boots to accurately illustrating the difference between full and empty cheek hamsters. So fun!
My daughter (7 years old) loved the first hamster book and we couldn't wait to get this one. We're about half way through it. We read it at bedtime. It's just as fun and interesting for me as it is for her. Cannot wait til ratpunzel comes out in October!
One of the awesomest books ever. This series is currently my go-to buy for girls aged 7-12. My daughter (9 years old) and I both love it and my husband & son (age 12) have been known to quote it as well.
Great variety of vocabulary as in the first Hamster Princess book and I love that the content of the book is age-appropriate for the young reader who is reading at an advanced level.
The best Hamster Princess yet! Ursula Vernon's works are always full of humor and charm, and this is no exception.
