A review by thehodgenator
Happily Ever After by James Stevenson, Anna Quindlen
4.0
Quindlen's tomboy character Kate dives into the world of fairy tales in this adorable fractured tale.
Kate is in fourth grade and loves baseball. One day Aunt Mary gives her a baseball glove, but it is no ordinary glove. It is magical, and it will grant its wearer a wish.
Kate wishes to be a part of the fairytale world as a princess, but when she finds that she needs rescue, there is only one person she can count on: herself! As a matter of fact, Kate would prefer the company of the dark witch of the forest that has just kidnapped her than the prince who left here there.
Quindlen tackles the fairytale world in a new way with a heroine who refuses to sit back and let the prince take all the credit for what she can do herself, even if that means slaying a dragon and escaping a witch and a troll, which was really not trouble at all.
This comical read is all about female empowerment, and it is done quite cleverly. I really enjoyed this story.
