From the Publisher

Intrepid siblings Abby and Jonah continue their adventures through the realm of fairy tales in this comical story (Fairest of All, 2012). Having recently returned--via magic mirror--from Snow White's world, 10-year-old Abby is searching for answers. She longs to discover why she and her brother were sent into the fairy tale. However, her investigation quickly goes awry when, instead of receiving an explanation, the duo is suddenly transported through the mirror and into a different tale. Once there, an accident involving Abby, the iconic glass slipper and Cinderella's foot alters the course of the traditional story. Soon, the siblings are racing against time to restore the fairy tale and return home. Once again Mlynowski cleverly revises a classic fairy tale, offering a fresh interpretation of Cinderella's story and giving it a modern update. In this version, a feisty fairy godmother challenges Cinderella to rely upon her own ingenuity--not a handsome prince--to remedy her situation, and a formerly mean stepsister becomes quite sympathetic and remorseful. Despite many humorous mishaps and a surprising transformation, the ever-resourceful Abby's savvy wit and Jonah's enthusiastic assistance overcome all obstacles. Readers bewitched by this lively series will enjoy this adventurous sequel. (Fantasy. 9-12)
