Among a community of fairies, Verity Fairy stands out. Her moral compass is strong and, even when it may not be the best choice, she always tells the truth. It's a good thing that her fairy friends always have her back. Using this premise as the backdrop, Wakeman inserts Verity into well-known fairy tales to help explain their plots.

In this book, Verity's mission is to be the voice of Snow White's stepmother's Mirror on the Wall. When she asks "Who's the fairest of them all?", Verity tells the truth. Snow White, of course, thus setting off the tale we all know so well. It's a clever premise, one that will get young people thinking about fairy tales they've heard since they were young - and how Verity can fit right in.

I loved this new series by Caroline Wakeman! It's a great addition to the early reader market.
