I like it when something happens in a classic story that changes the ending completely(especially since the cause is a magic mirror and two kids).

The first installment of Sarah Mylowski's New York Times bestselling series!
Mirror, mirror, on the basement wall . . .
Once upon a time my brother and I were normal kids. The next minute? The mirror in our basement slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
But hey -- we're heroes! We stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't get to meet her prince. And then she won't get her happy ending. Oops.
Now it's up to us to:
- Avoid getting poisoned
- Sneak into a castle
- Fix Snow White's story
And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.

i love this silly take on snow white, it make me love snow white even more than i do now
A fresh, modern spin on a classic fairy tale--from bestselling author Sarah Mlynowski! Mirror, mirror, on the basement wall . . . Once upon a time my brother and I were normal kids. The next minute? The mirror in our basement slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale. I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. But hey -- we're heroes! We stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't get to meet her prince. And then she won't get her happy ending. Oops. Now it's up to us to: - Avoid getting poisoned - Sneak into a castle - Fix Snow White's story And then, fingers crossed, find our way home. I loved this book.
This is a silly take on Snow White. This book is okay for those boredom filled moments between classes or activities, but is not heavy reading. I had a hard time following the plot. Most of these modern fairy tales have a good strong plot line that carries through the whole book, but this story just kind of stumbles from one event to the other. Over all, a nice little story, just right for younger children and older children who have a few minutes to fill.
Mirror, mirror, on the basement wall . . . Once upon a time a mirror slurped up me and my brother, and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale. Then we stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't get to meet her prince or get her happy ending. Oops. Now it's up to us to fix Snow White's story. And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.
I love the twist in this tale! I enjoyed the magic mirror, the way Abby and Jonah accidentally messed up Snow White's tale, and how they fixed it up!
This book was about a girl named Abby and her brother Jonah her family just moved into a new house with a strange mirror in the basement. When the mirror sucks Abby and Jonah into the world of Snow White they find themselves immersed into her tale.
I love all the twisted fairy tales. I never tire of them. Each one is cherished. Fairest of All was quite original, and I enjoyed the plot, the characters, and the adventure, but I wouldn't recommend this to you if you engage in fantasy books on a daily basis, as this was a bit too short for my taste, albeit the fact that Sarah has made up for that fact with the other books. But if you're just getting into fantasy books, I'd say, dive right it!
That book was amazing!!! I have read the whole series, and i recommend this to book to all of the girls that really like fairy tales .
this book is absolutely perfect for people who love fairy tales with a twist. this is the first book in a wonderful book. about 10 year old abby and 7 year old jonah (did i mention snow white)
