    About this audiobook

    Splash! This time, Abby's magic mirror sucks her into the tale of the Little Mermaid.

    Abby and her little brother Jonah get pulled through the mirror in their basement again—into the story of the Little Mermaid!

    Talk about being a fish out of water! Abby and Jonah are not in their element in this underwater world. And when they accidentally mess up the Little Mermaid's story, they must figure out a way to restore her happy ending. A hilarious, fractured-fairy-tale adventure under the sea.

      What a unique and different book! I loved how the story was nothing like I expected! The main character is a witty intellectual young girl. The ending was also a big twist! I love the humor and the changes the author made and how it is not the same o Disney story. This book gives women power something that fairy tales tend to leave out.

      I read Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn’t Have) by Sarah Mlynowski early last year. It wasn’t the greatest book, but I liked it. When I saw that she had a children’s book out, I thought it looked cute. Then my 9-year-old niece got it, and I asked if I could borrow it.

      Fairest of All is a retelling of Snow White’s story, and it was really cute. It was a super quick read (170 pages in under 2 hours!), but it was fun, too!

      The book is told from Abby’s perspective, a 10-year-old girl with aspirations of being a judge when she grows up. She’s the most responsible, and probably smartest, 10-year-old I’ve ever “known”.

      I watched the Disney version of Snow White not that long ago, and I certainly didn’t love it as much as I did when I was a kid. She’s too prim, her voice is too high, and it’s just kind of boring. But Sarah Mlynowski reinvents the story in a totally believable, 2000′s kind of way. I definitely found it more interesting, and the twist at the end was great!

      In short, I would highly recommend this book for anyone who has ever liked fairy tales, especially Snow White. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

      I found this story very fun. Abby and her brother, the fairytale jumpers!

      Okay, so, fair warning, I am much older than the age range for which this book was written, and perhaps that explains why I wasn't very enchanted with the book itself. Though the back cover blurb does make it sound interesting.I sympathize with Abby about change, but I found her a bit annoying also.In one sense, the idea reminds me a bit of C.S. Lewis's "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" (minus the Christian allegory part). There's a portal (in this case a mirror) that transports children elsewhere (in this case, into Snow White's story). But changing the story by warning Snow about the poisoned apple means that Snow doesn't get her "happily ever after". The author doesn't address what happens to the fairy tales in our world if Snow White's story changes--perhaps because all the action takes place between midnight and 6 AM--though with all the time zones, it should be possible that someone, somewhere in the world could be reading the story of Snow White during that time.

      This is an amazing book! It creates such an interesting picture in your mind and allows the reader to get sucked into to the magic! Just like Abby and Jonah do!❤️

      I read this book at the request of third grade girls, who think the "Whatever After" series is the cat's pajamas. They were right. It is a good twist on fairy tales. 10 year old Abby and her 7 year old brother, Jonah find themselves transported to Snow White's world when they discover a magic mirror in the basement of their new home. As Abby tries to improve Snow's life and get the prince to marry Snow, she finds that interfering in a fairy tale doesn't always bring the consequences wanted.
    • 2/5
      I was so excited when I first heard about this series I was so excited. I love fairy tales and I had really liked other books by Mlynowski so I was pretty much sold on it...unfortunately I didn't really enjoy the book as much as I wanted to. I found Abby's attitude extremely obnoxious--to the point where I actually stopped reading for a while and debated whether it was worth finishing it. In the end b/c it was so short I did read the whole thing. I felt like there was some misinformation on what a judge's job actually is--the text seemed to me to imply that judge's decide the outcomes of cases. I did like the information provided on wills and how that played out as part of the outcome. The ending was also extremely abrupt. I understand that this is part of a series but I felt like there was a better way to go about the ending so that it would feel more finished. I don't think I'm going to continue with the series.

      The Good Stuff Charming and sweet Reminded me of some of Meg Cabot's middle grade Perfect for the reluctant reader Loved the humour, quirky and fun (very Canadian) It was refreshing to read a novel geared towards young girls that was sweet and innocent. It was the sort of thing I would have loved to read at that age. I know quite a few customers at my store that will enjoy this one - sold a copy of it last week to this sweet little girl - she read the first page and said mom we have to buy this Great opening paragraph - will hook the reader in right away - also made me giggle and I am 42 Nice twist on the fractured fairy tale genre good role model for young girlsThe Not So Good Stuff Would have liked a little more development but hey this is written for a young girl not an old momFavorite Quotes/Passages"Maybe in Smithville a room filled with books is called a media room, but it smells just like the libray in my old, normal school. Musty. Dusty. Papery.""My whole body tenses. I do not like hissing. Especially hissing mirrors.""That's not the real story. That's the Disney version."Who Should/Shouldn't Read Perfect for the reluctant reader Fans of Meg Cabot's MG stuff will enjoy4 Dewey's I received this from Scholastic in exchange for an honest review
