Giant Trouble (Hamster Princess N 4)

Princess Harriet Hamsterbone is not your average damsel-in-distress—she’s a curse-crushing, cliff-diving, quicksand-surviving hero with a knack for chaos. And in Giant Trouble, her fourth adventure, Harriet faces her tallest challenge yet: giants. Like, actual giants. The kind who live in castles above the clouds and have a serious attitude problem.

When Harriet’s pal Prince Wilbur gets snatched by a beanstalk-climbing giant (classic fairy tale nonsense, right?), she springs into action. Armed with her trusty battle quail, Mumfrey, and a zero-tolerance policy for boring rescues, Harriet scales the sky-high beanstalk to take on featherbrained geese, grumpy giants, and maybe a golden harp with a sassy mouth. But saving Wilbur isn’t just about brawn—it’ll take brains, trickery, and a few well-timed hamster puns.

Ursula Vernon’s signature blend of wit, whimsy, and hilarious illustrations turns this Jack-and-the-Beanstalk riff into a rollicking underdog (underhamster?) tale. Harriet’s no-princess-left-behind attitude and chaotic charm will have readers rooting for her as she outsmarts enemies ten times her size. Perfect for fans of twisted fairy tales, laugh-out-loud adventures, and heroines who’d rather climb a beanstalk than wait for a prince.

PS No giants were harmed in the making of this book… though their toes might’ve been nibbled. (Ages 8-12, and anyone who’s ever wanted to karate-chop a magical goose.)
