Customer Reviews

Mixed up fairy tales, mixed up genders, and lots of heroics!

In this sequel to Enchanted, we follow Sunday's slightly older sister Saturday, the only non magical member of a fairy-blooded family as she accidentally breaks the world and goes on a crazy adventure to save the world from sure destruction. Along the way, we get to know her spunky, difficult self, and see her self doubt bloom into eventual confidence. The story follows a strange boy under a curse, a shapeshifter, an evil witch demon, and some of Saturday and Sunday's family, not to mention a fire-breathing dragon. A thoroughly fun and clever tale of things never being what they seem, and unexpected love found among the chaos.
