I liked that the book was easy to read and that for a book centered around fairy tales, it matched the same storytelling energy. The plot twists and lessons learned were predictable but I still enjoyed myself. I think others, adult and children alike, will too

Main character Alex is mentioned as having been bullied at school (off-screen), some of the characters make comments about weight (weighing too much or not having as thin of a waist as others), female characters are sometimes spoken of stereotypically (obsessed with boys, vain, needing to keep their weight down). Main characters' father has passed away at the beginning of the novel, and the children and mother are mourning his loss.allieslay's review against another edition
