Synopsis:

RED ALERT FOR FAIRY TALE Sylvia Locke is out and ready to cause mischief.

Once upon a time in Fairy Tale Land, there lived a very bad girl indeed. Sylvia Locke may have been abandoned by her adventuring parents but that’s no excuse for being mean to her loving grandparents, rude to everyone at school, and even bullying rare magical creatures. Right?

One day, when out on a break-and-enter job at the Bear family’s house, Sylvia happens upon a magical mirror that turns out to be more than she bargained for. Could even a kid like Sylvia find a friend? Could some warm and fuzzies change her heart?

The first book in Tairy Fails, a modern fractured fairy tale humor series that will have elementary school kids and early chapter book readers screaming with laughter.

My Review:

I got this book for free, in exchange for my honest opinion via Booksirens.

Sylvia Locke and the Three Bears, is a delightful twist on the Goldilocks fairy tale. Sylvia is a young girl with an attitude. All she wants is a special kind of cereal, and her grandmother is attending to a busted pipe. How dare she? After a walk in the woods, Sylvia comes across the Three Bears home, and overhears them say they have the exact cereal she wants. What luck! However, getting her tummy full isn’t as easy as Sylvia would like. First she meets a magic mirror, then Baby Bear’s grandpa, then the neighbour. Is she ever going to get her cereal?

It’s no secret that Sylvia’s parents dumped her at her grandparents and never came back. So, in turn of getting the magic mirror something to eat, she’s going to ask about her parents. The answer, isn’t what she thought, but she’s happy with it.

This book is perfect for young readers. It’s 16 chapters, but they’re short and sweet and to the point. The illustrations added nice details to the story, helping the story move along nicely. They were beautifully done.

All in all, it’s a great book for the young reader’s in your life.

Thank you, Booksirens and David Horn for allowing me to review! As always, my review is my own opinion and thoughts. This review will be shared to my Instagram @fictionluxblog shortly.
