Ilustration In Pursuance Of Books Half Upon a Time (Half Upon a Time #1)
Life’s no fairy tale for Jack. After all, his father's been missing ever since that incident with the beanstalk and the giant, and his grandfather keeps pushing him to get out and find a princess to rescue. Who'd want to rescue a snobby, entitled princess anyway? Especially one that falls out of the sky wearing a shirt that says "Punk Princess," and still denies she's royalty. In fact, May doesn't even believe in magic. Yeah, what's that about? May does need help though--a huntsman is chasing her, her grandmother has been kidnapped, and Jack thinks it’s all because of the Wicked Queen . . . mostly because May’s grandmother might just be the long-lost Snow White. Jack and May's thrillingly hilarious adventure combines all the classic stories—fractured as a broken magic mirror—into the first of an epic new series of novels for the ages.Rating Epithetical Books Half Upon a Time (Half Upon a Time #1)

I'm very glad I chose this book to be the first one of summer reading! It's very fast paced and kept my interest the whole time!New Favorite series of all time
4.5 stars. This was a funny mixed-up fairytale retelling full of humor and adventure and magical objects and fairytale creatures and lost sarcasm. (A sad thing, indeed, that.) The tone of the book is lighthearted and funny and, well, simply put, I loved it. :)My biggest complaint is how open-ended it was. It left so many questions unanswered, so many mysteries unsolved. *sigh* But according to the author's website, the sequel is going to be published in April, '12, and it involves mermen and
action-packed with plenty of twists and turns. I just want to hug all the characters and make all of their troubles go away, seriously, they're so funny and awesome!
If you love fairy tales ("How many times do I have to tell you that fairies don't have tails?" Jack asked with a frustrated sigh.) then you will love this hilarious tale about the son of the famous Jack who climbed the beanstalk and the granddaughter of a Snow White. Be ready to hold in the laughter as you quiver under the sheets with your night light, desperately trying to finish the book before the day is over. One of the handful of books I've finished in one sitting, I found myself sucked
This is such a fun book - I can't wait for the rest of the series!!! It's a modern, witty take on classic fairy tale life. Fun adventures, great for both teen and adult readers - I'm getting it for all my nephews!!
I just found this out (from another book) that there are a lot of Jacks in fairy tales. If someone were to ask you a trivia question like this "What was the name of the boy who went to seek his fortune in the fairy tale..." Jack should be your answer. So this Jack is having trouble with princess rescue training, he failed. But then what do you know, a real princess falls out of the sky. She needs help and so an adventure is set in place. With all number of creatures and fairy tales coming out of
