Twelve Upon a Time
A wizard whose powers run the universe, who finds out schoolkids know something he doesn't.
Three kids whose secrets must stop a big-city mayor from taking over their village.
A princess whose detecting skills, not her looks, may save her kingdom.
A leprechaun who is more of an Irish mob boss.
A do-nothing young boy sucked into a wild west adventure.
A girl whose origami has a life of its own.
If these don't sound like the kinds of fairy tales you remember from childhood, that's because they're not. Here are thirteen all-new tales from children's author Cj Lehi, illustrated by children from around the country. These are modern tales with a decidedly retro style, where once upon a time doesn't always lead to happily ever after, but almost always means something good is going to happen.

This is a clever compilation of new stories with a classic twist. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fresh fairytale before bed.
