![]() ![]() Celebrate Children's Book Week Giveaway Hop.Enter to win a YA book of choice for the Children'.A woman with a big heart and troubled teens.Source: Received a complimentary copy from a virtual tour host, which did not affect my review in any way. ![]() I just wanted a little more overall, but it was still a light and entertaining read. I don't think it needed to be longer, but I wanted it to engage my emotions more or for the characters to be more. There were parts of this story that I loved and then parts that were just okay or not as engaging. They each had their various roles, some more important than others. There also was Jack's sweetheart Rachel who was sweet, but not a real strong character, Jack's and Jill's parents (who happen to be Hansel and Gretel), the giant and then the witch. They had some nice sibling teasing and love. Jack has a sister whose name is Jill (nice little twist right there). This made for a light, quick, and enjoyable read. ![]() ![]() The author's version stayed true as far as keeping the tale simple and uncomplicated while also making it her own by adding some fun twists.

The phoenixes were cool, but they might as well have been dragons for all intents and purposes. I don’t think it was a bad book, but it also didn’t bring anything new to the table for me. I thought this was an okay read, but I enjoyed some parts of it more than others which is sometimes the case for me with books that have multiple POV.
