mysterystar - "Jack glared at him. "I'm not just going to kiss her." "If you don't, I will," the old man said. "You think she wants to wake up to this?"" Half Upon a Time is about a young boy named Jack living in a small town. His grandfather wants him to go rescue a princess like normal kids. Jack hates royalty and says he'll never do it, at least until a princess from the land of Punk falls from the sky. This book is filled with great developed characters, an intriguing plot line, and tons of humor. I love sarcastic and clever characters like Jack and May, so I fell in love with this books almost right away. The beginning is quite boring but I promise you that once you get past that part you'll find that it's worth it.

Gr 5-9-In his twisted fairy-tale world, hapless young Jack fails his princess-rescuing test, but fate gives him another chance when a circle of blue fire deposits May, wearing a T-shirt that reads "Punk Princess," into his cottage. Jack recognizes her as a true princess and they set off on a quest to find her grandmother, Snow White. Joined by super-smooth Prince Phillip, and staying just ahead of the giant green Huntsman, they journey to the Black Forest, ride the wicked wolf's back, release a genie when they break Red Hood's magic mirror, and spend time in the dungeon of a fairy queen before finding Snow White and seven dwarfs in the Palace of the Snow Queen. Jack is perennially clumsy, and May has a quick, sharp tongue until she trades her sarcasm to save Jack's life. Snappy dialogue, fast-paced action, unexpected twists, and the inevitable conflicts of a threesome made up of two teenage boys and a pretty girl make this an enjoyable read. A whirlwind ending upsets everything, setting the stage for a sequel.-Kathleen Isaacs, Children's Literature Specialist, Pasadena, MD
