i did not like it

It was like I actually did fall into the fairytale!

It is clever how the fairy tale story is interwoven into this story. It is full of twists and turns and therefore story is cool and difficult to put down! I think that Ben Miller is a really good author and I found it accessible to read myself.

This book is fun to read. I stayed up late reading because it was too much of a cliff hanger

It was very interesting to read.

I recently read this with my Year 5 Book Club, they absolutely loved it. We talked about how much we liked the imagery invoked through the vocabulary in this book. The fairytales within the story are traditional but have twists so that you don't know what's coming next. For me personally, the ending felt a little rushed and I was a little confused by the ending. The Book Club were also confused, with half the children concluding one concept whilst the rest came to a different conclusion.

All in all a good book, which helped us to have conversations around bravery, siblings distancing themselves, and great 'what would you do if...' discussions.

I loved the story because it is a story in a story.

Larna is my Favourite character because she makes disasters and fixes it all in a funny way

18 Sep 2021

I love any kind of twist on fairytales and this was no different. Think it will be very popular when I add it to my classroom library.

11 Sep 2021

This book is really different, I like how the fairytale bit happens at the supermarket and how the brother and sister become friends again.
Its definitely worth a read as its a great story.

10 Sep 2021

I recommend this book because it tells you are all about different fairy tales but made into one story.

If you get a bit scared this might not be the book for you.

Harrison was a good character because even thought he got a bit grumpy he ended up in the fairytale with his sister.

08 Sep 2021

I really enjoyed references to traditional fairy tales within the book, this offered a nice twist. Reading is portrayed so powerfully within the text and it helps to ignite a fire for engaging with stories in young readers.

This was funny, light hearted and entertaining. I liked how the author blended fairytales together. Definitely worth a read for children aged 8 years and older.

I absolutely loved this story. It is well written and intertwines traditional fairytales (Sleeping Beauty and Hansel and Gretal) with new adaptions curtesy of Ben Miller.

I would highly recommend this story to children aged 8+
