Greta Ever After
There are no fairy tale endings in middle school.
Greta Starr has one to be a famous reporter. Unfortunately she’s been assigned to write for the paper’s most boring beat, and she feels stuck. Then, on her twelfth birthday, Greta receives a mysterious cuckoo clock with a wooden dancer named Lulu inside. Every hour, the doll twirls in time with the music—until one night she comes to life. Lulu is infused with magic and mischief. With Lulu’s sly encouragement, Greta engineers a feel-good story to report, setting in motion a series of remarkable, if deceitful, happy endings at school that help Greta gain popularity. But when the truth threatens Greta’s friendships, she is confronted with very real consequences that Lulu’s magic can’t fix.
This coming-of-age story explores the blurred line between fact and fiction as Greta realizes the key to being a great reporter—and a great friend—is striving for truth, not perfection.

Greta Ever After can only be described as a Middle Grade Contemporary with a touch of Magical Realism which I kind of liked and Melissa's use of Into the Woods throughout the book was interesting as was the start of the book which began in Germany and I wish this would of been carried on throughout the book. Instead we have Greta who was likeable enough but some of her actions was questionable as was with the character of Lulu but was glad that Greta saw the light. I also liked the addition of the newspaper in the story which did fascinated me and i learnt something. I also have to mention Max for me when he was in the story things were alot lighter and wish he was used more.
For all the above reasons Greta Ever After receives 3 stars

Melissa Dassori’s latest middle grade novel blends the challenges of jr high with a touch of magic in the same way her debut title, J. R. WRITES HER WORLD, mixed the two so beautifully. But instead of writing wishes into existence, this time a figure, Lulu, who is a part of a beautiful cuckoo clock, comes to life and offers Greta an escape from the difficulties of seventh grade and into the magical world of the timepiece.
Greta and her two best friends, Isabel and Chloe, are ready to dive into all the activities of seventh grade-Isabel is an enthusiastic class president filled with enthusiasm and plenty of great ideas, Chloe shines on the soccer field and Greta is anxious to begin writing for the school paper. Everything is going great for Isabel and Chloe but Greta’s journalism career is off to a slow start until she seeds an article celebrating a birthday surprise for a popular teacher by planting the idea in the mind of an orchestra member and with the success of that piece, causes two more news worthy events on campus so she can cover them. That is only the beginning of the stresses in Greta’s life as friend drama develops and a burgeoning crush is sidelined so when Lulu shares her story of being a real life 12 year old herself at one time and tells Greta she can also enter the clock and leave her problems behind, Greta agrees.
Readers will relate to the jealousy, mean comments, and poor choices of students at Simmons Middle School and will understand Greta’s desire to leave it all behind and go somewhere those sorts of bumps in the road don’t exist. They will recognize personalities present at Simmons-the cocky musician, the do-everything-and-look-pretty-doing it leader, sports stars and those who are shy and stay on the periphery and they will also see the truth when Greta experiences family fun in the snow, the pride in her part in a successful musical and the pleasure of a new pet and realizes that while life is hard sometimes, she would miss too much if she left.
Solid choice for ages 9-13 in library collections with steady readership in works by Kate Messner, Barbara O’Connor and others who deliver positive messages about the trials and joys that co-exist during middle school. Text is free of profanity, sexual content and violence. Representation: Students with varied interests are included, race and physical descriptions are scarce allowing readers to fill in those details for themselves.
Thanks for sharing a print arc, Melissa Dassori and Little Brown and Co/LBYR.

After a trip to Germany to visit relatives, Greta has to start the school year at Simmons Middle School. She has good friends in Isabell and Chloe, and has a mild crush on the cute Isaac. She's excited to be writing for the school newspaper, which is going to publish online twice a month instead of only once a month in print. At home, she's rather amused that her relative Ingrid has sent her a cuckoo clock she admired in Germany. It belonged to a girl who died, so is a little creepy, especially when one of the figures on the clock, Lulu, comes to life! Hiding Lulu from her parents and younger brother, Max, is a bit of a struggle, but not as hard as coming up with ideas for stories. Frantic to have something to turn in, Greta plants the ideas for several stories, including persuading someone to stage a birthday surprise for the orchestra teacher, putting puzzles around the building for people to work on, and posting positive sticky notes in the girls' restrooms. Of course, the journalism teacher wants her to investigate the last two and find out who was behind the initiatives, which Greta can't do. As her stress mounts, Lulu offers her a way out-- Greta can go into the world of the cuckoo clock, where everything will be pleasant. The catch? She can never leave.
I loved the idea of visiting relatives in Germany, and fell down quite a rabbit hole investigating Schultüte, but had a hard time accepting that Greta's staging of news stories was that problematic. Going into the clock struck me as being all too close to suicide, which creeped me out. Readers who are interested in journalism and who liked the magical realism in this author's J.R. Silver Writes Her World may not be as creeped out as I was. Love the cover, and the connections to German culture.

Coming-of-age meets fairy tale in Melissa Dassori's charming second novel, GRETA EVER AFTER.
Seventh grader Greta Starr is struggling to find herself. Her friends seem to have it all figured out, but Greta hasn't yet determined what her niche might be. Is it the middle school newspaper? This year's musical? Add to those everyday worries the fact that the clock Greta received for her birthday from a relative in Germany turns out to be inhabited by a magical doll named Lulu. Perhaps Lulu will help solve Greta's problems... or perhaps she'll only create bigger ones. For as Greta observes... there's something a little 'Grimm' about Lulu.
Fairy tale magic is expertly sprinkled over the real-world magic (and mayhem) of middle school friendships and first crushes in this clever exploration of the tightrope walk of growing up. It's a perfect balance for middle grade readers, who have one foot in childhood and one foot in the grown-up world.
The newspaper headlines that flash through Greta's mind are shared with the reader to great effect, and the messages in the school musical (Sondheim's Into the Woods) are a pitch-perfect parallel to Greta's story. Young readers will see themselves lovingly drawn in Greta as she navigates the perilous waters of middle school.
Hooray for this second magic-tinged contemporary from Dassori!

A creative and clever take on fairy tales as Greta Starr struggles to identify her talents and discovers the true meaning of friendship. From the enchanting cover to the opening pages, this story drew me right in. Melissa Dassori's deft touch of magic and whimsy takes a typical coming-of-age middle grade story and elevates it into an adventure. It all starts with a mysterious, enchanted cuckoo clock that Greta receives on her 12th birthday. The depiction of Lulu, the clock figure, strikes a perfect balance between creepy and enticing. I also love the warmth and realism shown in descriptions of Greta's family life and adorable brother, plus the process of writing for a middle school newspaper and putting on a musical. Greta's friendships and first crush are also nuanced and well drawn, capturing the pressures girls feel to achieve and be perfect all at once. This is a great follow-up to Melissa's first novel, J.R. Silver Writes Her World, in the way it also infuses a contemporary setting with magic.

In GRETA EVER AFTER by Melissa Dassori, despite declaring herself too old for fairy tales, Greta is enamored with an antique clock with she sees when visiting a relative in Germany. After the family returns home, Greta is surprised to receive the clock as a gift. She is even more surprised to find that the clock is home to Lulu, a dancer who comes to life and offers Greta the opportunity to live with her in the clock. While her two best friends excel at drama and sports, Greta tries—and struggles--to find her voice as a writer for the school paper. After she makes some questionable reporting choices, Greta begins to ponder Lulu’s offer as a way to make her problems disappear.
Headlines interspersed throughout the text sum up Greta’s feelings in a humorous way that fits with her reporter aspirations. A mash up of middle school drama and fairy tale fantasy with a touch of magic, this will resonate with many middle grade readers who are also experiencing the same feelings about finding their way.

I received a hardcover copy and a NetGalley link. Thank you Partner @topping and the publisher for including me in the tour.
I love middle grade fantasy and this book had so many fun twists, adding in lessons learned along the way.
If you had a chance to leave your problems behind would you do it? Greta meets the magical Lulu in a coocoo clock she receives for her 12th birthday. Greta’s love of fairytales and Into the Woods is woven through the story. Possibly Grimm Lulu offers Greta a chance to start over, but there are consequences. Meanwhile Greta is trying to find her to place in the school paper (I enjoyed the headlines), and the musical, and makes mistakes along the way.
With the mistakes, there are lessons learned. There are many relatable moments as a theme: middle school is challenging, lies have a way to find us, sometimes our friends shine, maybe they’re better at things than we are. But things always get better and there is value in family and friend relationships.
The illustrations were darling and added so much the story too.

Greta Ever After is a delightful contemporary middle grade novel. The 12-year-old characters are well-crafted and believable for today’s kids. There are so many layers and themes in this fun story from competitiveness and honesty in journalism to the value of families and friendships. I enjoyed learning a little more about the “Into the Woods” play when the kids practiced their performances. It was also interesting to visit the animal shelter. In particular, I liked how a cat named Moe could blink in response to a human’s blink, as a way of connecting. I’m a big fan of illustrated novels and the lovely pictures sprinkled throughout brought much to my reading experience. A nice, clean story overall, perfect for tweens. An added bonus is the Black Forest magic of an enchanted cuckoo clock!

What an unusual and really fun Middle Grade story! It’s a perfect mix of realistic MG life for Greta—managing friendships and competitive school extra-curriculars (the musical, school paper, sports)—but also some fantastical elements in the form of a spirited and opinionated character named Lulu. Greta is up against some major challenges and has to make weighty decisions, so you can’t help but turn pages to see how it ends. I love how the author respectfully makes her characters’ issues and concerns meaningful, their mistakes relatable, and their growth and change totally believable. There’s a lot going on but the multiple sub-plots are artfully threaded and come together to a very satisfying end. Also, just look at this stunning cover. It’s original and artistic and the perfect enticement to get us readers to dive in!

"I'm here to protect you, Greta Starr."
"From what?"
Lulu collected her thoughts. "It's hard to be a twelve-year-old girl. You don't always know who has your back."
TRUTH little magical friend! This is a middle grade fairy-tale that perfectly blends contemporary voice with magical elements. 7th grader Greta just celebrated her 12th birthday when she receives a magical clock from a cousin in Germany. So magical that one of the figurines comes to life and invites Greta to escape school and friendship drama by traveling into the clock world, only for her to find that the mess is worth fighting through to find her true self.
Highly recommend!!!

Greta deals with a lot as a new seventh grader: she struggles to come up with news article ideas for the school paper; she feels overshadowed by her two closest friends, an athlete and a musical theater star; and she's navigating a crush. Oh, and she's also hiding an enchanted doll from a magical clock that offers her an option to escape into a magical fairy tale world. In this endearing tale, readers will root for Greta to figure out how to live her best life without resorting to magical dreams.

Indian in the Cupboard meets Grimms' fairly tales in this enchanting story of middle schooler Greta who receives a cuckoo clock as a gift, only to discover not only that one of the clock's figurines is alive, but that there's a fantastical world inside the clock where she can escape all her troubles. But once she makes the choice, she can never return! Loved watching the story unfold as Greta struggles with changing friendships, discovering her talents, and even a budding romance.

Melissa Dassori's second novel, GRETA EVER AFTER, is a fun and relatable read about 12-year-old Greta learning to navigate seventh grade and searching for what she's good at (journalism? musicals?) when her friends seem to have figured it all out. Filled with friendship struggles, first crushes, and fairy tale magic, I highly recommend this middle grade coming-of-age story meets modern day fairytale.

I liked the book and the story of the journalistic intrigrity, and that could have made for a very good middle grade book. However, the choice that Greta gets to live in a lonely paradise that seemed too indicative of taking one's own life. I feel that she should have reached out and showed kids if they have these feelings what to do.

Greta Ever After is a good fantasy story with a good self-esteem message. There might be a few words that twelve-year-olds might not know, so be sure to have a dictionary for them. Then get ready for an over-scheduled kid’s story because Greta is mad booked.

This coming of age story will steal your heart. It is a rare story that makes you laugh and also feels like the main character grows in an authentic and relatable way. Lulu is just an amazing character--she leaps off the page and makes you laugh even when you least expect to. And Greta's ethical dilemma is one in which both kids and adults will be able to understand. SO well done!!
March 26, 2025
Middle Grade perfection! Cleverly told, this story has friendship struggles, self-created problems, a bit of magic and whimsy, plus the undercurrent of the "grimmer" side of fairy tales. I related to Greta thinking in headlines and enjoyed watching her foray into journalism. I loved it!

Greta Ever After by Melissa Dassori with illustrations by Dana Sammar
Seventh grader Greta Starr receives a special gift on her twelfth birthday: a unique cuckoo clock that brings a troublesome living doll named Lulu into her life.
The cover of the book, which features a colorful illustration of a girl (Greta) sitting on the bottom ledge of a chalet-style cuckoo clock, is what initially drew me to this story.
The blurb was interesting, the characters and setting seemed believable, and I most enjoyed the beginning of the book which included a family trip to Germany with some descriptions of German culture.
Best suited for middle school readers.

What a delightful read! Greta Ever After weaves a fairy tale into real life, where Greta has to find her way through a forest of self-doubt, outsmart middle school obstacles, and overcome the villain in herself.

Loved it!

the connections to "modern" fairy tales was nice. sometimes the connection to lulu seemed contrived.

This is such a fantastic middle grade novel! It has everything a middle grade reader could possibly want. Fantasy, mystery, and even a cute crush. There are so many good things about it!

i cannot imagine giving this anything less than four stars. personally, i'm giving it 5 because this is essentially a book for middle school graders, and therefore i will rate it as if i were a middle school grader.
and it was spectacular.
Dassori is a true mastermind at capturing that awkward, tender space between child and teenhood perfectly; and i really cannot pinpoint anything in particular that stood out to me in ways i did not like. to be very honest, i rarely hold my patience with protagonists in intermediate and teen fiction titles most times, but Greta is written with such tenderness that my heart stayed with her even through her worst decisions. in fact, i was especially struck by the honesty behind her growing jealousy. too often, we see jealousy portrayed in fiction as an ugly emotion that is petty, and dramatic, and something borne out of bitterness... but here, it is quiet, and tender, and stealthy enough to creep into the cracks of even the most innocent of friendships.
and it was absolutely refreshing to behold.
i personally think it was a stroke of genius that Dassori also goes on to weave in tiny, seemingly incidental details that are not necessarily meant to lead to bigger plot points, but nevertheless reaffirm so much about Greta's vulnerability and self-consciousness (e.g. her being uncomfortable when her best friends can hold an effortless conversation with her crush is so heartbreakingly human it is almost wistful).
needless to say, the fairytale undercurrent was also an extremely delightful facet for me. it was in fact the whole reason why i even picked up this book as a 38yo lollll. low-key making me wish that there is going to be an entire series about to follow; but.
regardless where this goes, i cannot recommend Greta Ever After enough - even if you are adult.
especially if you are an adult.
a middle-grade story this is, yes. but it is unflinching in the way it holds a mirror to our grown-up hearts.

Getting lost in the woods is a lot like being in middle school. It's easy to lose your bearings, to forget where you came from, and who your most trusted travelling companions are. In Melissa Dassori's eagerly anticipated second novel, GRETA EVER AFTER, Greta Starr, 7th grader and budding journalist, learns the hard way that shortcuts don't always save you time, and that a fairy tale ending is not all it's cracked up to be.
A wonderful contemporary tale infused with a touch of magic and wonder, this is the perfect read for middle grade readers to get lost in!
