Wonderlit Review

This chapter book introduces readers to Ever After High, a unique boarding school where the offspring of classic fairy-tale characters are expected to follow in their parents' footsteps. The central conflict revolves around Apple White, destined to be the next Snow White, and Raven Queen, fated to be the next Evil Queen, as they grapple with the choice to accept or defy their pre-written destinies. The book handles themes of identity, choice, and friendship through a magical lens, making it an engaging read for children exploring what it means to be true to themselves. It's ideal for readers who enjoy modern takes on fairy tales and stories about finding your own path.
