About This Book
This short chapter book, part of the popular Ever After High franchise, focuses on Hunter Huntsman, the son of the traditional Huntsman from fairy tales. Hunter struggles with the expectations of his destiny, particularly his feelings about hunting and his secret relationship with Ashlynn Ella, a 'Royal.' It's a gentle introduction to themes of self-identity, choosing your own path, and navigating secret crushes, all set within a magical boarding school where fairy tale characters' children decide their futures. Ideal for ages 4-11, it offers a quick, engaging read that can spark conversations about being true to oneself.
Join Hunter Huntsman, son of the heroic Huntsman, for a day in the woods. What happens when he has to hide his real feelings about hunting in the forest-and about a forest maiden, too? Read all about it in this exclusive Ever After High short story by Newbery Honor author Shannon Hale.
