This was an interesting take on the story. That is a lot of pressure on the shoulders of a two siblings far far away from home and in a place they do not really understand. So the tasks they have to accomplish are:Īll while the clock is ticking. As such they spend a number of days trying to help Beauty and to set the story right. They have until their parents would wake up the next morning to figure this out. Also time in the story seems to be moving at a much slower pace than back home, for Abby's watch is moving incrementally. Soon they are trying to figure out how to set the story right. When they stop Snow White eating the poised apple the whole story goes sideways. Jonah on the other hand seems to be a jump first think later type of guy. Abby is very cautious and also very protective both of Beauty and her brother. Late one night they get ported through the large mirror in the basement along with most of their parent's Legal books, and soon find themselves in a story that is familiar but not quite the same. This is the story of Abby and Jonah and their adventure.

It is the story of two modern day kids who get transported through a magic mirror into the events of the legend or story of Sleeping Beauty.

In some ways reminiscent of the fractured fairy tales, or Tony Abbott's Cracked Classics. This book and the series that is now up to ten books is a new spin on old tales. Because she is struggling a bit we tend to read 40 minutes but alternate pages. For school she is suppose to read for 20 minutes a day. This is one of the books my oldest daughter and I read together this year.

All of the whatever after books
