Horn Book (Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2015)

With Nikki Russell and Erin Russell. Nikki's band is taking off, and she's getting her own reality show, but mean girl MacKenzie has evil plans (Glam). When MacKenzie hits Nikki in the face with a ball, Nikki wakes up in an enchanted land where she encounters familiar faces as fairy-tale characters (Happily). Copious twee illustrations and large handwriting-style font make both slight, tween-speak-heavy (OMG!) stories fly by.
