I really enjoyed this book and the stories in it. The book is very well-written. I liked the design of the book too.

Okay, so...I don’t know how I feel about this? I’m not going to be giving it a rating because it was a schoolbook, but it feels like it would probably be around 3.5 stars?

I think, mostly, I was disappointed that the premise of the book at the very beginning was SO vastly different from the actual story. I was trying really hard to find the same whimsy and music in the rest of the book as was carried in the actual story...but I just didn’t feel it. The characters were fine, and this is 100% a personal thing—this book is good, and clean, and I think I’d give it to my little sisters with 0 reservations. But...personally, to me, it did not quite fly.

Oh well. :(

This was an enchanted tale, absolutely magical! The only problem I have with this book is the way it was classified. Because it is supposed to be a "middle grade" or "young adult" book I'm afraid many adults won't even pick it up. There in lies the tragedy.

Reading again for #MMD Book Club November 2018 flight pick

Very well-done audiobook. The stories pulled me in and I really cared about the characters. It might have been written for children, but it's a powerful story for adults as well.

I had my doubts when I first started reading, then the cliffhangers started happening and I couldn’t put the book down! It was beautifully written and the ending was very satisfying! I was basically wanting to get out of my chair and dance around my room with how happy I was that the characters got there happy ending!

Very well written stories of historical fiction tied together with a fairy tale helper to bring these characters together. Although 585 pages, each story carries you along wanting to see what happens next.
