Box of Fables

Island of Fog #16

by Keith Robinson

What happens when fairy tales and fables come to life? A cabin in an enchanted forest seems like the perfect location for nine shapeshifters to catch up on their school work. But after a traveling salesman sells them a mysterious box that promises to bring their favorite fairy tales to life, it seems nobody bothers to read the small print. The box does indeed bring fairy tales to life – just not as they imagined. Dozens of animals rampage across the lawn, including a giant wolf that threatens to blow their house down. A beanstalk grows as tall as the clouds. An archer known as the huntsman prowls the woods looking for Snow White. And the sinister Red-Legged Scissor-Man is eager to chop off thumbs. The shapeshifters are dragged into the reconstructed stories and must see them through while avoiding the terrible endings... It's impossible to concentrate on classwork when their cabin is under siege! The sixteenth book in the Island of Fog series combines mythical creatures with fairy tales and fables.

My son and I love this series. My son said this is his new favorite of all the books as he loved the creative way it integrated other fairy tales. Very unique. It had me reading ahead after he went to bed.
