When the fairy-tale detectives rush to New York City hoping to find an Everafter who can cure Puck, they trigger a chain of events that includes a murder mystery, and learn many new things about their mother who, along with their father, is still in an enchanted sleep.


These are just fun reads for my brain. For the age group this is written for, it is just good fun. They are away for them to enjoy characters from other books they grew up with. For people who tend to like to read fairytales or other literature they are very interesting. For example Shakespeare fans will love this new title. It focuses a lot on characters from Midsummer night’s dream. Puck was hurt in the previous book and now needs to visit a the only doctor that can help him. Oddly enough they end up going to New York City and running into Puck’s parents. The Sisters also run into Bess (the cow that jumped over the moon) and the Great and Powerful Oz.

I highly recommend giving this series a try. I know the author works to keep the characters close to the roots of their original stories. I don’t’ know my Shakespeare well enough to double check them, but if you are looking for a fun read, go for it.
