School Library Journal - 05/31/2024 Gr 3–6—Everyone knows the story of Snow White, especially young protagonist Abby. Abby hates change, and when her family moves to a new town, she finds comfort in familiar fairy tales where "good is good and bad is bad and endings are happily ever after." That is, until a magic mirror transports Abby and her adventurous brother Jonah right into the middle of Snow White's tale. When their arrival stops Snow from living her happily ever after, Jonah and Abby must try everything to get the story back on track. This graphic novel adaptation of the chapter book by Mlynowski is a fun twist on the classic tale. Snow is given agency to make choices and decide whether or not she wants a kiss from an unknown prince, while Abby discovers that change isn't always a bad thing. Snow, Abby, and Jonah use their brains and their guts to solve problems and defeat the evil queen. The art brings diversity to the story through the depiction of the seven dwarfs, who are drawn as different ages, genders, nationalities, and races. VERDICT Containing plenty of humor and heart, this is a worthwhile addition to library collections. Fans of the "Whatever After" prose series and the "Goddess Girls" series will enjoy this this title.—Amy Ribakove - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
