This is a spin-off fairy tale for a new generation! Your middle school girls (and probably boys, too, really) will enjoy the age-appropriate suspense as Snow and Rose find themselves in various predicaments.
If you know the original story by the Brothers Grimm, you will discover a totally different ending! It was refreshingly free of romance, believe it or not.
Definitely consider this book for your daughters, nieces, granddaughters, etc. 🩷 It would also make a good read-aloud in winter or even near the Christmas season. Enjoy!
