Retelling of fairy tales with a twist following Verity the fairy and her friends
These books are amazing for young readers. It's a retelling of the famous fairy tales but with a twist. You follow Verity and her friends as they try and help good beat evil. But Verity has one problem she can only tell the truth will this get her in trouble?
My daughter said "I love fairy tales and really enjoyed reading these as they had a twist and a different view of the story. I loved following the story of Verity and hoping she wouldn't get in to trouble but with Verity meaning truth I know she would get into some trouble. Verity was definitely my favourite character even if she did get herself in trouble sometimes. I liked that this book is just the right length for me to read at night and that they have definition of works in it too.... Read Full Review
