Since this is the beginning of a new series I am looking forward to where this story will go. The author has a lot of room to work with, and my daughter is anxiously awaiting the next book. Also, the cover is fabulous.

Why I love this book:
This was a fun premise and the book moved at a quick pace. The characters could use some development, but this is the first book in the series so I imagine we will learn more as the series goes on. The action and the humor will keep kids glued to this book, as they learn some interesting new truths about their favorite fairy tale characters.

Who this book is for:
Kids who love fractured fairy tales will enjoy this one. My daughter was a huge fan of The Hero's Guide to Saving Your Kingdom and she just devoured this book, complaining when she had to put it down during the “good parts!”

Final thoughts:
It is nice to know what ended up happening to Cinderella’s stepmother. I always felt her story was a bit unresolved, didn’t you?
