I really liked Book 1 in this series, but I LOVE Book 2, Of Mice and Magic! The plot is much tighter than Book 1, and the whole thing is a wildly creative, funny and empowering adventure based on The 12 Dancing Princesses. In this version, the princesses are saved not by a soldier who gets to make his choice among them but by fierce, sturdy Harriet the formerly-invincible hamster princess, who gallops in on her riding quail, Mumfrey, looks at the way the dancing princesses' father has treated them (locking them in their room overnight, etc) with a VERY skeptical eye, and helps them all figure out what THEY want to do next with their lives, as well as saving them from their curse. And it's just so funny throughout! I devoured it in an afternoon and laughed out loud again and again at the fabulous humor.
Then I read it to my seven-year-old, who LOVED it, demanded more and more pages of it every night, and then immediately wanted Book 1 to be read to him.
And neither of us can't wait for Book 3! Needless to say, we pre-ordered it.
Hooray for hilarious, snarky hamster princesses and their riding-quail companions!
