![]() Just like with the previous books in this series, "Whiskerella" is fun, exciting, hilarious, and gives us memorable characters and a well-done female protagonist. Can Harriet and Wilbur, with a little help from a bat ambassador and a lovestruck stablehand, stop a fiendish fairy plot and save the day? but this particular Cinderella doesn't want the happy ending the fairy godmother has in mind, and said fairy godmother isn't taking no for an answer. Sure enough, there's a fairy godmother at the heart of this. But when a mysterious, beautiful stranger crashes the ball, drawing the eye of every prince there, Harriet is instantly suspicious and enlists her reluctant friend Wilbur to figure out what's going on. ![]() ![]() Harriet's mother is insistent that she settle down and find a prince, and so arranges a ball and invites as many eligible princes as possible. And "Whiskerella" continues the tradition, giving us a splendid new take on the Cinderella fairy tale. These books not only have fun and cute illustrations but a feisty and fun heroine, plenty of action, and a generous helping of humor that both kids and adults can appreciate. ![]() The "Hamster Princess" books keep getting better, and I've highly enjoyed reading about Harriet, her friend Wilbur, and her loyal battle-quail Mumphrey as they happily fracture and subvert many classic fairy tales together. ![]()
