Hamster Princess: Whiskerella

(3) 1-3 Hamster Princess Harriet is forced to attend a ball--in a dress!--and gets pulled into a mystery involving a hamster in glass shoes (Whiskerella). A rodent-girl in a bright red hood asks Harriet for help with weasel-wolves lurking around her grandmother's cottage (Little Red). Vernon's fifth and sixth trippy fairy-tale takeoffs use humor, quick pacing, occasional comic book–style panels, and snappy dialogue to engage young and struggling readers. Review covers these titles: Hamster Princess: Little Red Rodent Hood and Hamster Princess: Whiskerella.
