First Frost by Liz DeJesus
5.0
I have always loved Fairytales. It's one of the reasons why I loved the TV show "Once Upon a Time". What Liz DeJesus has created in these books is a brand new take on the old stories. These books will suck you in and delight even the most reluctant readers. But it isn't just for the kids. Oh no, don't let the label YA fool you, this book is by no means for kids only!
We have Bianca Frost, who is 17 years old. Her best friend is Ming, and their lives are about to be changed forever. Bianca works in her mother's Museum. A fabulous place which has relics of all the fairy tales. But what Bianca didn't know is that the fairy tales are all REAL!
I can't go into any details because there is just so much to say about this book and I am seriously afraid that I will give it all away. What I will say is the Characters are strongly written, believable and enjoyable. The plot moves along at a fairly fast pace and keeps you absorbed in the story. The world creation is detailed but not so much that it is an information dump. It literally sucks you in and you can see the home the Three Little Pigs built of bricks. You can see the different story characters come to life. This is an amazing book, and I am sure that you and your children will love it. This book is easily appropriate for children, I passed it along to my 10 year old son. It can even be read aloud, although if you do that I fear your kids won't go to sleep very early!
The link to purchase it is above and I HIGHLY recommend this 5 star read to young and old alike.
