This is a great book! I had it before I knew about Paperback Book Swap, though... I love this book! If you are wondering if you should get this book, GET IT!!! My favorite author is Chris Colfer BECAUSE OF THIS BOOK. It was perfectly said, and if you like long books, and fantasy, but also danger and mystery, this book (+other books in this series) is the perfect book for you! GET THIS BOOK!!!! You won't regret it!

The book was really creative and imaginative although I do have to admit that the book was a bit boring. But still well worth it to read. Check it out!

I loved this book on tape. I haven't read the actual book yet, but am looking forward to doing so.

It's largely a remix of fairy tales that everyone is familiar with as toured by a couple of children that already have a keen interest in fairy tales.

I was creeped out early on when the class was so unfamiliar with the stories. It's been a while since I've been in a position to observe the workings of a classroom, but I'm hoping that it was creative license and that most students are not actually like that.

One of my favorite things about this CD was that it's one of the first audio books I've ever listened to and the other one was very monotone. Chris Colfer really gets into it and has a notably different voice for pretty much every character.

I can't decide if I hated or loved Little Red Riding Hood. The voice he uses for her is kind of irritating, but it really fits her and I always smiled when she came into a scene. I guess I love to hate her.
