Review

Christine Heppermann puts an interesting twist to some fairy tales that young teen girls can relate too in a poetry format. She takes realities that they face -- social lives, looks and family and uses the tales of Red Riding Hood, Snow White and more modern connections like GI Joe and Spiderman to express inner thoughts that can't always be spoken out loud.

Overall Book Score: very good
