This book was adorable! It's fast-paced, a super easy read, and it's full of entertainment on each and every page. Yes, it's written for a much younger audience, but even adults can find stuff to love in this one.

Like I said above, this book is super cute. I really enjoyed it. It's fun, fast-paced, full of adventure, and who doesn't love some of the fairytale characters? It was great to get to see those characters in a new way. Goldilocks? She rocks! Seriously though, this is a super cute read that I highly recommend when you're looking for something light-hearted and simply fun. Kudos to Chris Colfer on one super adorable debut book!
