Abby and her little brother, Jonah, have been sucked through a magic mirror into the story of Snow White. They are pretty proud of themselves for keeping Snow from eating a poisoned apple from the Queen until they realize that they've changed her story and she might not meet her prince. 

Though there are countless retellings of fairytales, this is a fun romp into the genre with the idea that change isn't always bad. The characters are fun and the artwork is bright and colorful and adds to the story. No specific race or culture is mentioned in the story.
