Until she starts talking to Luke on a new teen website. She is that smart girl at school so she never will be one of the 'Clique Queens.' No one seems to understand her. Her little sister is Satan and her parents are just too old to understand. She starts having trouble with her best friend because they don't have many classes together and she feels like they are drifting apart. You have to be able to think outside the box to be able to enjoy this book.Fourteen year old Abby is starting high school. Verdict: I think the reference to many fairytale characters in modern day may appeal to some readers. This book is a follow up to Charmed, I’m Sure and Fairest of Them All. The author is the winner of the Sydney Taylor Book Award. While the plot was good and the book tied up nicely, it was a bit hard to follow at times. I felt the book was a bit disjointed because of the number of fairytale characters who were introduced without a lot of background or reference to why they appeared in the story. I almost stopped reading it, but I gave it another chance and actually enjoyed it. Since the characters are from fairy tales, it took me awhile to get into it. This book was a bit different than I thought it would be. When her aunts take care of her for a week while her parents are out of town for a “global product roll out” her life spirals into disaster. Nina and her popular friends befriend Minty, but even though she has been warned that they are not to be trusted, Minty has to learn it for herself. Along the way she meets Dakota, whose dad is Hansel and aunt is Gretel. Minty arrives at a new school and tries to make friends. Her aunts (her mother’s step sisters) own a Comfortably Ever After line where they sell comfortable–but ugly–shoes.

Her family is famous for supplying their superior cleaning products to royalty.

Arminita who goes by Minty, is the daughter of Cinderella. However, once I started reading it, I realized that it was made up of fairytale characters, told in first person, from Arminita’s point of view. P6 Q6įrom the title, I thought this book was going to be a modern twist on the play, the Taming of the Shrew.
