Review
Such a fun addition to this great fractured fairy tale series! Harriet is a fantastic character – a princess who wants to fight monsters. She’s not interested in getting married to a prince – she’s only twelve! She’s smart, tough, and resourceful. The twists to the Rapunzel story are just right. The sassy tone of the narration left me laughing out loud several times.
I think this would be an awesome series to read out loud, at home or in a classroom! The “voice” is so fun. This would be a great mentor text for the concept of voice also.
Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Book 1 is Harriet the Invincible. I recommend enjoying these books in order – the whole series is a lot of fun!
