The first installment of Sarah Mylowski's New York Times bestselling series!
Mirror, mirror, on the basement wall . . .
Once upon a time my brother and I were normal kids. The next minute? The mirror in our basement slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
But hey -- we're heroes! We stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't get to meet her prince. And then she won't get her happy ending. Oops.
Now it's up to us to:
- Avoid getting poisoned
- Sneak into a castle
- Fix Snow White's story
And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.

I got this book as a gift and didn't really think it was going to be a great book. But it is the best fairy tale book I have read. This book is a modern fairy tale not like the other ones. It stands outs. Overall I love this book.
I LOVED this book! Its kind of like a twisted version of snow white. they have to stop snow white from eating the poisoned apple!
This was such an adorable story. It was very funny and witty. I loved how the author described the story and how the author set the whole plot. It is very fast pacing, and is very understandable. The theme is set up into a fairytale like, but Abby and Jonah understands the real meaning. Jonah and Abby were described a sweet and curious pair. It was exactly how I pictured it would be. Also it was wonderful how the author sneaked in some fairy tales like Snow White. I can't wait to read more of these series.
I think this book is quite interesting. I love how the girl and and her brother have a magical mirror in their basement and get transported to a fairy tale and in this case snow white.

this book is awsome
This book is really cool. It is about a girl who lives a normal life. Soon she moves and gets sucked into a mirror and turns into a princess. I recommend this book for girls only.
I like how the fairy tales are used in this story. It has great characters. The girls are strong and interesting. I am enjoying this book.
Before I go too far readers should know that this isn’t a cliffhanger series and I do believe that each book will be able to stand on it’s own though they’ll likely all be enjoyable. In this edition of the Whatever After series, Sarah Mlynowski takes the classic story of Snow White and completely switches it up. Where Snow White was once a damsel in distress she’s now a bit of a bad housekeeper with a penchant for making really bad stew. It was fun to see how Abby and Jonah stepped into this story and created a new “what if” situation which also made for a bit more tension in a story that was normally pretty cut and dry. Both leading ladies were strong characters that girls will definitely connect with, but that won’t feel overpowered by as well. And the relationship between Abby and Jonah was just the perfect mixture of brother-sister teasing with care and concern.
this book is cool i love the series of these books there always twisted parts in each book my fav one is the fairest of all! But some parts are weird like the mirror why a mirror? :D
