Booklist - 11/01/2022 In this cute middle-grade fantasy, fairy tale–loving readers will get to visit the magical land where all their favorite characters live. Korean American Mihi desperately wants to be a princess but feels like she doesn’t quite fit in. She unexpectedly meets some new pals (and fellow misfits) in the school library, and, like something out of Narnia, they discover a portal into a magical land. Unfortunately, they get way more than they bargained for when they begin to realize their dreams of being princesses and start to experience magic firsthand. Newbery-winning Keller includes some familiar characters from well-known stories while adding some new dimension with a contemporary spin. The girls are told they cannot make changes to the stories as written, but when they start seeing the dark side of things, they decide they’ll do anything to get back home. Themes of friendship, honesty, and integrity really shine here, and the girls’ journey to safety makes for an exciting page-turner. Some tantalizing threads left hanging hint at the possibility of future adventures. - Copyright 2022 Booklist.
