Gr 3–6 —Everyone knows the story of Snow White , especially young protagonist Abby. Abby hates change, and when her family moves to a new town, she finds comfort in familiar fairy tales where "good is good and bad is bad and endings are happily ever after." That is, until a magic mirror transports Abby and her adventurous brother Jonah right into the middle of Snow White's tale. When their arrival stops Snow from living her happily ever after, Jonah and Abby must try everything to get the story back on track. This graphic novel adaptation of the chapter book by Mlynowski is a fun twist on the classic tale. Snow is given agency to make choices and decide whether or not she wants a kiss from an unknown prince, while Abby discovers that change isn't always a bad thing. Snow, Abby, and Jonah use their brains and their guts to solve problems and defeat the evil queen. The art brings diversity to the story through the depiction of the seven dwarfs, who are drawn as different ages, genders, nationalities, and races. VERDICT Containing plenty of humor and heart, this is a worthwhile addition to library collections. Fans of the "Whatever After" prose series and the "Goddess Girls" series will enjoy this this title.—Amy Ribakove
The magic of the New York Times and PW bestselling Whatever After series comes to life in this brand-new graphic novel adaptation that will appeal to fans of the BSC and Wings of Fire alike! Fractured fairy tales have never been this fun.
Once upon a time, Abby and her little brother, Jonah, were ordinary kids. The next minute? The mirror in their basement slurped them up and magically transported them into the fairy tale of Snow White.
Yes, really!
When Abby and Jonah stop Snow from eating the poison apple, they think they're heroes. But wait! If Snow doesn't die, she won't meet her prince and get her happy ending. Oops.
Now it's up to Abby and Jonah-- with some help from Snow and the seven dwarfs--to outwit the witch and save the famous fairy tale in time.
But what if Snow's REAL happy ending is something else entirely?
Bestselling author Sarah Mlynowski and award-winning illustrator Anu Chouhan join forces to bring us this vibrant, action-packed, enchanting graphic novel adventure that will appeal to fans of fairy tales, Raina Telgemeier, The Land of Stories, and all magical, empowering adventures.
