Hamster Princess: Harriet the Invincible, Ursula Vernon
This book is really adorable and fun, with wonderful illustrations. Another one on my list of stuff to buy for my great-niece when she's six or so.
Harriet is cursed as an infant--when she's twelve, she will prick her finger on a hamster wheel, and sleep until a prince kisses her.
Harriet's parents keep her life really boring until the day Harriet learns of the curse. Since the curse needs her to live until she's twelve, Harriet figures she's invincible!
So she does some cliff diving and runs off to kick the snot out of some monsters.
all goes well until she's drawn back home on her twelfth birthday..
