    In the third book of the series, Gilly’s little sister lands in reform school.

    "Mermaids, fairies, trolls, and princesses abound in this creative mashup of the Grimms' most famous characters. This whimsical tale is a surprising mixture of fable, fantasy, and true coming-of-age novel. Magical problems are enhanced by real-world lessons on prejudice, bullying, and self-image." - Kirkus Reviews

    Fairy Tale Reform School

    Gilly must face the most evil villain in the second installment of this twisted fairy tale series

    "Fans of Calonita's previous book in the series (Flunked, 2015) will enjoy this continuation of the story. New readers will be caught up within the first few pages thanks to a blog scroll ("Happily Ever After Scrolls") that recurs throughout the book. Tweens who are fans of fractured fairy tales like the "Whatever After" series by Sarah Mlynowski (Scholastic) will have no problem getting into this read." - School Library Journal
