Great!

Great!
I got this book in 2022 Christmas from my godmother,
Eileen Hayes. I also saw this movie on Disney+ too.

So many scenes that weren't in the movie! 😱 They really should have added those in. Would have made a lot more sense, just saying. Even two deleted songs!! Thanks to this book we can visualize how they would have played out 🥰

Happily ever after doesn’t seem to be all it’s cracked up to be for Giselle. After giving birth to Sophia, Giselle and Sophia receive a wish granting wand. Around the same time, the family moves to Monroeville with their family. As a result, Giselle and Robert’s daughter, Morgan starts acting out. To make matters worse, the queen bee of the two seems to have it out for Giselle. Wanting her family’s life to be the perfect fairy tale, Giselle makes a wish with the wand for that to happen. Soon, things around her are seeming more like a fairy tale, but Giselle seems to becoming more villain-like than heroine. Will she find a way to strike a happy medium in her life or will she become the villain of her own story?

The plot is reminiscent of the live action movie and fairly well-written. The characters are likable an true to the original movie. Fans of Disenchanted, fairy tales, and fantasy will want to read this book. Recommended for library collections where such books are popular.
