Abby in Wonderland: A Wherever After Special Edition Novel, written by Sarah Mylnowski, reviewed by Terry Wahrman

Summary:
Frankie chases after a card and falls down a golf course hole. Abby, Robin, and Penny go down after her and land in Wonderland. Abby is no stranger to falling into fairy tales and she knows you are not supposed to change the endings or bad things can happen. Abby does not want the others to know she leads a life of popping in and out of fairytales. That secret is only shared with her brother, Jonah. While chasing after Frankie, the girls get into trouble tasting the Queen of heart’s tarts. They were told to help themselves by a rabbit, but this rabbit doesn’t belong in Wonderland. This is an imposter rabbit causing problems for them. He is feeding them false information. They need to keep their heads and work together to get out of Wonderland. 

Straight Talk for Librarians: Another lighthearted twisted fairytale by Sarah Mlynowski. Abby tackles getting along with the new girl. She doesn’t like Penny because Penny has been monopolizing Robin’s time. Abby feels left out. The three girls have to come together to save Frankie. It is a current day story about girl heroes meeting fairytale villains and crazy characters. Working together is the only way they are going to leave with their heads still attached. Great for fairytale readers and elementary bookclub starts.
