About the author

Jane B. Mason

123 books102 followers
Jane B. Mason grew up in a large family in northern Minnesota. She has written books for kids of all ages under many names and on many subjects, among them ghosts, Jedi, detective duos, princesses, twins, mean girls, and slam books.

Jane has lived in the midwest and on both coasts, but appears to have settled in Oakland, California, and writes almost every day at either a friend's dining room table or a little studio in her back yard, where she has a purple loveseat, a whole lotta books, and an odd selection of trinkets she has unwittingly been collecting since she was a child.

This was so good. I liked this version of the story even better than the original by Cornelia Funke. I loved the fairies, the books, the characters, and the power to eldest characters out of stories, which is what Mo and Maggie could do.

Working to read through my back log of children's books so I can donate. Three stars is my default rating for children and YA books and indicates they are good for their audience.

One of my favorite books as a child, loved the story but wasn’t as in depth as I would’ve liked as an adult!

A movie novelization that wasn't so exactly like the movie that it bored me! It actually combined pieces of both the movie and the book, along with a few things that weren't in either that I really liked!
