First Frost
First Frost #1
by Liz DeJesus
Publication Date: June 22, 2012
Blurb:
Fairytales aren’t real…yeah…that’s exactly what Bianca thought. She was
wrong.
For
generations, the Frost family has run the Museum of Magical and Rare Artifacts,
handing down guardianship from mother to daughter, always keeping their secrets
to “family only.”
Gathered
within museum’s walls is a collection dedicated to the Grimm fairy tales and to
the rare items the family has acquired: Cinderella’s glass slipper, Snow
White’s poisoned apple, the evil queen’s magic mirror, Sleeping Beauty’s
enchanted spinning wheel…
Seventeen-year-old
Bianca Frost wants none of it, dreaming instead of a career in art or
photography or…well, anything except working in the family’s museum. She knows
the items in the glass display cases are fakes because, of course, magic
doesn’t really exist.
She’s
about to find out how wrong she is.

My Thoughts - 4 out of
5 unicorns - I really liked it!!
**Received the ebook as
part GHB tour for an honest review.
Cover
doesn’t do much for me personally, but the blurb hooked me.
I
really like this story based on fairy tales.
It seems to be a recurring theme lately in both in books, TV, and
movies. There were a few slow parts, but
it was building the story and completely necessary. Could you imagine fairy tales being real?
What if magic were real? This story has
all sorts of magic, action, and surprises.
I can’t wait to read the next book to see where it goes. I wish I could get this book in paperback to
share with my students in the classroom, but it looks like it is only available
in ebook format.
I
recommend this story to all those girls who love classic fairy tales but want a
new twist on them.
