But this was NOT a case of good cover/bad book

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2018

Verified Purchase

For Middle-Grade March I selected a couple of books based on reviews, personal recs, and maybe for the covers alone. This one was for the cover alone. But this was NOT a case of good cover/bad book. Not by a long shot.

This was one of those books that you didn't now you needed. It is a retelling of Snow White and Rose Red, two young sisters who are forced to move to a cottage in the woods after their father goes missing. As their mother grows more distant by the day, succumbing to her grief, the two venture off into the woods in search of adventure. And sometimes adventure just seems to find them. They befriend a boy who lives underground and come into contact with wolves, a bear, thieves and even a little man who seems to need rescuing over and over again.

I have no read the original Grimm tale so I am not sure how closely resembling it this book is, but I can say there was certainly magic on every page and it the anticipation of seeing the wonderful illustrations kept me up long after my bedtime. I dare to say that there was even magic in the very pages. I felt like a kid again.

Martin's writing is both magical and breezy. This is not a long book, clocking in at just over 200 pages. The girls are well fleshed out with individual personalities. I recommend this to anyone looking for fairy tales or simply something to get you out of that book slump. I highly recommend it to anybody with kids as they will find it as beautiful as I did.

I give this book all the stars, such an amazing story, and art.

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2018

This was the first book we have consistently read until finish, with my 7yo and 4yo. They both absolutely, heck me included, LOVED this book. I wasn't sure what to expect other than incredible art, as we have read a few of EWM's books before. From the art, to the characters and their details, she does a great job at making it easy to picture the story as you read, and truly feel like you know the characters, but never being able to expect what happens. We read a chapter a night until we finished it, and were super sad once it was over. We would LOVE a sequel, even though the book doesn't leave you being able to wonder what happened next, or there is no cliffhanger. It all flows so smoothly, and keeps you wanting to read more without those awful cliffhangers that digital media uses. I could go on and on but bottom line, highly recommend this book, so much that we might just reread it!

Gorgeous Illustrations & Delightful Story!

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most beautifully illustrated books that I've read in a long time. The illustrations and the lovely, sweet story are a charming combination. I think middle grade readers will find a lot to relate to in both Snow and Rose. Snow, though pale and icy, has a robust disposition, with feeling that feel to big for her to handle sometimes. Rose, on the other hand, is timid and wishes she might find it in herself to let her feelings carry her away sometimes. The differences between the sisters are endearing, and truly I think anyone has been a Snow or a Rose at different points in their life. I also appreciated that, while it was evident their mother was lost in grief for a time, she was not cast as the negligent parent, but rather had an active role in the story.

The details of the forest are lyrically drawn - from the mysterious library that doesn't shelve books, but skeleton keys and other intriguing objects, to the small, mysterious man, who may be more sinister than he first appears. Their cottage is warm, cozy, and 0h-so-inviting. I was charmed by the whole book. The ending feels a bit rushed, in my opinion, especially after the somewhat slow build of the beginning of the book. There's a delicate air of mystery and a bit of suspense at the end, but nothing that I feel would be too much for even sensitive readers (unless they just really don't like forests or bears). The whimsy of the telling and the depth of character make this a story worth reading. I'll probably read it again one day! :)

Beautiful book but definitely for kids

Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this thinking it was a retelling for adults. While I was reading, I didn't personally feel captivated but it's a sweet story with good writing and endearing illustrations so I thought it might be great for my kids. Then I looked again and realized it's targeted at elementary through middle school kids. That makes total sense! It's a great book for that age range. So I heartily recommend it for kids but maybe not for adult lovers of fairy tales.

We absolutely loved this book

Reviewed in the United States on January 13, 2018

We absolutely loved this book! I bought it wondering if it was rewrite of my childhood favorite 'Snow white and Rose red'... turns out it is based on that tale but so much more! I read this out loud to my children as they would draw.. at the end of each chapter they would be for more! The age ranges in this house are from nine up and they all loved it. Including myself!
Magical and mysterious. And the beautiful art work just makes it that much more worth it! 🖤🖤

Can't Wait to Get Started On This New Story!

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2017

Verified Purchase

My youngest daughter is in the 2nd grade and we just finished reading Ms. Martin's "Oddfellow's Orphanage" together and LOVED IT! My daughter wanted her other books so I have bought this for an Xmas present along with Ms. Martin's "The Black Apple's Paper Doll Primer". Everything arrived quickly through Amazon Prime and I was delighted to find that her newest story is a thicker chapter book. I can't wait for Christmas morning so she can unwrap it and we can start reading it together! Of course, this is filled with Emily's beautiful and exquisite illustrations as well. Everything she does is just magical!

A Classic Fairy Tale rewritten

Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

The story of Snow White and Rose Red was one of my very favorite fairy tales! The gorgeous illustrations convinced me to buy this rewrite, and the story is beautifully filled out. I really enjoyed it myself and read it to my granddaughter. I will continue to enjoy it and read it over and over because a good story continues to be a good story no matter my age! Either the extended story or the lovely pictures alone would have convinced me to buy this, but the combination is fabulous! It is such a delight! I can see gifting it for any little girls who believe in the possibility of magic!

Nice keepsake book

Love the book. Sadly I ordered the hardback and received the paperback from a seller which was a shame as this is a lovely keepsake book. Returning was a bit of a faff so kept it. The book itself is wonderful and the illustrations are beautiful :)

Beautiful book

Reviewed in India on June 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book has artwork and imagery in it, which is just beautiful. It really takes it to another level and makes the book a perfect keepsake.
The story is really nice, though as an adult reading it, I felt it was a little abrupt at times. Maybe it works for a young pre-teen or tween girl, who is the target reader. I bought it for a favorite niece.
All in all, the hardcover version is a good buy, and a great gift.
