The Unfairy Tale, by Shari Lane, is a fun new tale for any reader looking to escape from the troubles of everyday life. Ten-year-old Amanda Grand still loves snuggling in close to her mother to read a grand new adventure. Their newest story is The Unfairy Tale, the story of a young girl who joins a prince on his journey to save the princess to whom he is betrothed. Surprisingly, Amanda soon discovers that she has a lot in common with the heroine in this book. Soon The Unfairy Tale becomes more than entertainment, and instead becomes a way to cope with her non-fairytale life, and a chance to extend the hand of friendship to those she least expected to befriend.
Shari Lane’s book, The Unfairy Tale, is a story that is sure to delight readers of books like The Princess Bride and The Neverending Story. With whimsical flair, Lane weaves both the fairy tale Amanda is being told with the story of her everyday life. Anyone who has ever had to cope with the constant interruptions that occur while reading to children are sure to be amused with the commentary and questions Amanda has throughout her readings of The Unfairy Tale. This would be a wonderful addition to classrooms or the library of any upper elementary age students as it has wonderful lessons on how to cope with bullies and how to befriend those who may seem unworthy of friendship. I would highly recommend this story to parents and teachers, and I hope to read more from Shari Lane.
