    Hi Bookstory13 I am super impressed by your movie and book reviews - would you be interested in becoming an advance reviewer for dogo? If so ask a parent to e-mail me at editor@dogonews.com so I can explain the details - Keep up the great work!

    Please read the directions carefully - You need to be logged in to the summer reading program for the system to keep track of the reviews you are doing to win books. If you did not do that you will not earn any prizes

    callie_b's book review was featured in Half Upon a Time.
    "May sighed. 'But this isn't once upon a time. It's like the opposite... half or something.'" Jack is a normal boy living in the world of fairy tales, in a village called Giant's Hand. Well, Jack the thirteenth. Jack in the Beanstalk? That's his father. But his father has been missing for a long time, and Jack lives with his grandfather. One of the only purposes in life in Giant's Hand is to find and rescue a princess, marry, and become a powerful and rich leader. But Jack isn't doing very well in the 'rescuing a princess' department. All his teachers at school tell him so. So when a girl with a shirt that says 'Punk Princess' on it falls from a magic portal into Jack's cottage, Jack is EXTREMELY surprised. It couldn't be that easy, could it? The girl, named May, denies being a princess, though. She doesn't know where he is, says she doesn't know magic and now she's saying she's not a princess despite her obvious shirt! But May needs to find her grandmother, who Jack believes is the real Snow White, and to save her from the Wicked Queen! It's off on a quest for them, and with the help of a prince named Phillip that May and Jack meet along the way, they encounter the infamous gingerbread house of Hansel and Gretel, attempt to tame Maleficent, almost get swallowed by a giant, and more on this epic adventure! Will they find May's grandmother? Will May ever get home? Find out in this hilarious fractured fairy tale! I really enjoyed this book. James Riley writes really well from a kid's perspective, and he is so funny, and writes sarcasm well too! I could relate to the humor and that was awesome! If you like books like The Sisters Grimm or The Land of Stories, then this is the book for you! I rate it 4/5 stars and for ages 9+.
