Ratpunzel (Hamster Princess N 3)

If you’re hunting for a story that’s equal parts hilarious, clever, and packed with a princess who’d rather fight dragons than wear a tiara, meet Ratpunzel—the third adventure in the Hamster Princess series. This isn’t your grandma’s fairy tale (unless your grandma likes rodent royalty with a flair for chaos).

Princess Harriet Hamsterbone is back, and she’s not waiting around for a prince to save the day. Harriet’s the kind of hero who’d karate-chop a curse before breakfast, and this time, she’s diving snout-first into a tower-bound mystery. When a strange, fuzzy voice cries for help from a tower that definitely shouldn’t exist, Harriet’s curiosity (and her love of trouble) kicks in. But this isn’t just any damsel-in-distress situation. There’s magic, mischief, and a whole lot of hamster-sized chaos ahead.

Ursula Vernon’s signature wit and quirky illustrations turn this Rapunzel-inspired romp into a laugh-out-loud adventure. Harriet’s no-nonsense attitude and knack for creative problem-solving will have readers cheering as she untangles enchanted hair, outsmarts villains, and maybe even learns a lesson or two about friendship (though she’d never admit it). Perfect for fans of fractured fairy tales, Ratpunzel mixes sharp humor with heart, all while flipping classic tropes on their heads.

Great for middle-grade readers (or grown-ups who still giggle at hamster puns), this book stands on its own—but fair warning: you’ll probably want to binge the whole series. Whether you’re here for the absurdity of rodent royalty, the zany twists, or Harriet’s unshakable confidence, Ratpunzel delivers a story that’s as empowering as it is entertaining. Grab a copy, and join the princess who’d rather rescue herself… and maybe a few friends along the way.

PS No towers were harmed in the making of this book (probably).
