This riveting series for the novel-reading set could easily be pitched as “Nancy Drew meets The Hobbit.” In these clever and exciting tales, two elementary-aged sisters travel through the world of the Ever Afters, meeting every fairy tale character imaginable while looking to rescue their kidnapped parents. In a twist on traditional tales, the villian of this series is the leader of the Red-Hand Gang — Red Riding Hood. My nine-year-old Eden has read the whole series at least four times through and keeps it on her bedside table at all times. Plus, it has a fun and vaguely spooky website where kids can get the scoop on the next installation and even drop an email to the author.
