Description

Juvenile Fiction. Juvenile Literature. Folklore. Times are changing at Fairy Tale Reform School. At least, that's what Gilly's heard. Rumor is that notorious trickster Rumpelstiltskin has taken over management from Headmistress Flora, and he's locked down the school tighter than the Pied Piper's pants. Not that this news concerns Gilly-she's been released from FTRS and is now suffering through attending Jack of All Trades School where she gets to learn about different kinds of shoe leather and ways to measure feet (truly riveting stuff!). But when Gilly's little sister Anna gets whisked off to FTRS (thanks to her troublemaking new friends Hansel and Gretel), Gilly knows she's got to get Anna out of there and that there's only one way to do it: get herself thrown back in.… (more)

This was another wonderful adventure with Gilly and the other students at Fairy Tale Reform School. In this story, most of the gang are living at home, having been released at the end of the last book. Rumpelstiltskin is now the head master of FTRS and things are changing. When Anna, Gilly's sister

 is arrested, Gilly and Jax get themselves back at FTRS to save Anna. Finding many students under some kind of a spell, they try to sneak into Rumpelstiltskin's office to see if they can find any information and magic beans. They are caught and the only way to help Flora and the school is to go on a quest to find the Golden Goose. This quest takes them into some scary situations and they meet some mythical creatures, all the while learning what they are capable of achieving both alone and together. We meet a few new characters in this story such as Hansel and Gretel as well as Red Riding Hood. The magical pets that are a class in this story, save the day a couple of times, which is quite fun. The reader will learn that depending on the choices we make, wh can be a hero or a villian. Being a follower can end you up in a lot of trouble. The princesses are not in the story as much this time, it is the kids that figure out what to do and how to do it. Another great addition to this series for middle grade readers.
