In this one they jump into the story of The Snow Queen, which I've never read, nor am I familiar with. 

Lesson learned: don't force people to be your friends. 

The ending at home was crazy! Oh no! Jonah!

Snow ❄️ Snow ❄️ brr...
First:you fallow your dog into the basement at night.
Next:your in the Snow Queen’s fairy tale!
Is your name Abby or Jonah?
Because that’s what happens in the 6th story.

It was fine for what it was, a drama filled middle school book with lots of absurd fantasy.

I like this one because it had an eerier aspect with the Snow Queen.

I really love this series! This chilly story was a great book.

I’ve never read the tale of the Snow Queen, so this story was new to me. I’ve watched Frozen, but the fairytales that Abby and Jonah enter are the original tales, not the Disney versions. This story is a dark tale, so Abby and Jonah had to try to turn it into a happy ending.

There were some big surprises at the end of this story. Abby and Jonah’s secret of the mirror was almost discovered by their parents, but at the last minute their minds were wiped. Another important memory was altered as well, so I have no idea how it will play out in the rest of the series!

As always, I can’t wait to continue the rest of this series. It is a great collection of fairytale retellings.
