Description
On their second adventure through the magic mirror, Abby and Jonah find themselves in the Cinderella fairy tale and things soon start to go really wrong. Book #2
Quick Summary
Abby and Jonah are back at it again, and this time the magic mirror sends them straight into Cinderella's story which sounds fun until everything starts going hilariously wrong. The whole premise of kids actually messing with fairy tales is endlessly entertaining, and Mlynowski nails the sibling bickering and the chaos that happens when you accidentally change key story details. Jonah's panic about whether the glass slipper will still fit is genuinely funny, and the message about how our choices ripple through stories feels natural rather than preachy. This is perfect for kids who love humor, light adventure, and anyone who ever wondered "what if I could actually be in a fairy tale?" Fans of the Whatever After series will recognize the formula and love it, and it's a great fit for reluctant readers in the 4-8 range who want something quick and funny that doesn't talk down to them. There's nothing too scary going on just enough tension to keep things exciting, plus the satisfaction of watching Abby try to fix everything before bedtime.
