This is a fun fairy tale mashup disappointing only because the author failed to wrap up any of the story lines. You won't find out how Prince Phillip finds his Sleeping Beauty or why there is a little fairy in the Princess's hair. You won't learn who the Princess really is or see the Wicked Queen defeated. You won't see Jack discover his inner hero or find out the identity of his mysterious mentor. The book just ends with everything unfinished. Possibly the author thinks he is being clever but in actuality it is just unsatisfying. Books have endings.

The book sets out to be a Fun little tale about a modern girl suddenly finding herself magically transported into the world of fairytales. She is joined on her adventure by Jack, son of the man who climbed the beanstalk and Phillip a dashing prince destined to awake sleeping beauty. This story has lots of fun playing with the well-known fairy tales.

The book was quiet fun until the ending drew near and it became increasingly obvious that there was not enough room to wrap up all the storylines. The story fails to provide any ending at all leaving the reader wondering what happened to the second part of the book???

Two stars because the book was fun. It would have been a three or four star book had the author provided an ending... still kind of flabbergasted at the appropriateness of selling half a book...presumably just to be clever?
