The Storybook of Legends by Shannon Hale
3.0
Genre(s): children's, middle-grade, fantasy
Theme(s): fairytale retellings, high school
Recommended for ages: 11+
Summary: In order to keep the fairytales alive and well, Principal Grimm (descendant of the brothers Grimm) has decreed that all students of Ever After High must sign the storybook of legends and relive the famous stories we all know so well. The problem is Raven Queen has no desire to spend the rest of her days as the evil queen and poison her friend Apple White. But if she doesn't sign-then her and her story will disappear...forever. Or will they?
Review: I love fairytale retellings and this one was quite fun. It's very light, cheesy, and young. There's not much depth, but is perfect for young readers who are a fan of fairytales and princesses.
