A vibrant, joyful, and powerful story about a little girl with a LOT of strength trying to find her place in the world.

Harriet isn't just strong - she's the strongest girl in the whole world! And though her super-strength is mostly wonderful, it does make things like bouncing on trampolines, mixing cake batter, and putting the cap on the toothpaste a bit, well... tricky.

So when the Seriously Strong Touring Circus comes to town, Harriet thinks she might POP with excitement to see other people just like her! Hans the Hairy and Betty Biceps show her that being strong should be celebrated - and when Muscleman Max prepares to break a world record, Harriet suddenly finds herself taking a starring role in the performance- one she could never have dreamed of...

This humorous and empowering read features a brilliant cast of larger-than-life characters, and a heroine that you can't help but root for. A true celebration of strength, difference, and finding a place where you truly belong.
