Booklist - 08/01/2025 What happens when fairy-tale characters need a little help? Well, that’s a job for the fairy tale fixer, a pint-sized, trench-coat-wearing fairy mouse resembling a classic private eye. In this series opener, the fairy tale fixer must help Cinderella’s dream come true, but her dream isn’t what you may think. Rather than marry the loudmouthed prince in her story, Cinderella dreams of being an independent woman and of opening up her very own diner to serve pancakes. The fairy tale fixer is joined by a fellow mouse as they meddle in Cinderella’s story and learn that the best way to solve a problem is to listen to what someone actually wants. Elementary-schoolers who love twists on classic fairy tales are the ideal audience for this cheeky series, and they will appreciate the wry humor in both the text and artwork—Lacera’s speech balloons are particularly comic. Underwood’s refreshing take on Cinderella emphasizes being empowered to make your own choices, and that’s a worthwhile update to a classic tale. - Copyright 2025 Booklist.
