(3) 4-6 Back for a third adventure, Harriet, the hamster princess, and pal Wilbur track a stolen hydra egg to a tall tower, home to a "Rapunzel"-esque rat with a "freakishly long tail." Vernon lampoons epic quest tropes here and upends yet another classic fairy tale with her fiercely feminist--and very pragmatic--protagonist. Interspersed cartoon panels, tinted midnight blue, add to the book's approachability.
