Tonight the mirror swept us into Cinderella's fairy tale. Now, we are NOT messing this story up. No way. Cinderella is going to marry her prince just like she's supposed to.
Uh-oh.
Cinderella broke her foot, and there's massive swelling. The glass slipper won't fit, the prince won't know she's the one for him, and they won't live happily ever after. And it's all our fault!
To save the day we'll need to:
- Learn how to use a dustpan
- Stay out of jail
- Find Cinderella a job
- Make sure true love finds its way
We just have to get it all done before the clock strikes twelve and the chance for a happy ending is gone . . . forever!
If the Shoe Fits (Whatever After, #2) Reviews
-
Die 10-jährige Abby und ihr 7 Jahre alter Bruder Jonah gelangen durch einen verzauberten Spiegel in Aschenputtels Märchenwelt. Dort geschieht ein Missgeschick: Aschenputtels gläserner Schuh zerbricht. Wird ihr Märchenprinz sie trotzdem finden? So einfach scheint es nicht zu sein, denn Aschenputtels gute Fee hat auch noch eine Aufgabe für Aschenputtel, und Abby und Jonah möchten ihr helfen, diese Aufgabe zu erfüllen...
💙
Mein Leseeindruck:
Das Buch ist ein schönes Kinderbuch für junge Mädchen ab 10 Jahren. Die Geschichte ist an das Märchen vom "Aschenputtel" angelehnt, aber es gibt schon durchaus große Unterschiede zum Original. Die Idee zu dieser Geschichte hat mir sehr gefallen, aber ich würde empfehlen, zuerst "Abby und Schneewittchen in Gefahr" zu lesen. Das ist der erste Band der Reihe.
Der Schreibstil ist sehr einfach und kindgerecht. Die Kapitel sind lesefreundlich kurz gehalten. Das Buch eignet sich sowohl zum Vorlesen als auch zum Selberlesen.
Jungen Leserinnen, die Märchen mögen, kann ich das Buch auf jeden Fall empfehlen! -
can't believe im writing a review for this but my respect for the fairy godmother turning cinderella into a girlboss>>>
-
The ending wasthe part that make it five star book for me ... So unique on its own way and I loved it ... So refreshing from all the fairy tail retailing I have read before ..... Heartwarming and sweet story... Proven that you don't need. Fairy godmother to fulfill your own dreams

Grace and I are reading this book together. She picked it out at her school's book fair this spring and it's the first chapter book we've read (she's 4 for anyone who doesn't know). We started out reading just one chapter a night, but now we're reading two because we can't wait to find out what happens next. The story is absolutely adorable and a twist on Cinderella - in this version Cinderella has to "save herself." Reading this book with Grace has given us something special to share along with a ton of conversations. She cannot wait to get in the bed at night because she cannot wait to find out what happens next. On the way to school in the morning and during her bath at night, she and I talk about what happened in the book last night and what we think is going to happen next. I am so glad I let her buy this book - I think I'm having more fun than she is! :)

For Grades 3 and up, Age 8 and up, Whatever After book 2
Review:
Once upon a time Abby and her brother Johan found a magic mirror. That was when they were sucked into Snow White’s story and almost ruined it, but tonight the mirror swept them into Cinderella's fairy tale. This time they want to do things the right way and just watch to find the way home. That was until Cinderella broke her foot and there's massive swelling. The glass slipper won't fit, the prince won't know she's the one for him, and they won't live happily ever after. And it's all their fault! Now they have to figure out a way to help Cinderella, get the slipper to fit, and have a happy ending, which for them is getting home.
Cute story for kids who love fairy tales and always wondered what would happen if something went wrong in the story. -
This series is simply outstanding. Familiar fairy tales are retold with unexpected plot twists. Sometimes the story as we know it is inadvertently altered by Abby and Josh, our Smithville dwelling friends who enter the land of the story through the magic mirror in their basement. There are unexpected bursts of humor and plays on words. In Cinderella's world of Floom the refer to public carriages as parriages. There are no brownies in Floom, so Cinderella begins selling crownies thanks to the help given by Abby and Josh. Another wonderful plot choice in this series is the opportunities Abby and Josh have to make things right after mistakes are made. Our beloved fairy tales remain in high esteem, they just get a bit of a makeover and we all learn about ourselves and our fellow man at the same time.

Another fun spin on a classic fairytale. This is such a cute series. If the Shoe Fits was the retelling of Cinderella with a different twist. I listened to the audiobook with my daughter and she really liked it, but I personally enjoyed the first one better than this one - but still an enjoyable read along with my gal 💞still highly recommend this series so far to all ages. -
Re-reading this series with my daughter.
Loved that the fairy godmother wouldn't allow cinderella to be rescued by the prince but instead had to learn self-reliance and her new happily ever after is spelled CEO. Super cute -
This book is about Abby and her little brother Jonah going into fairy tales and changing them. In this one they go into Cinderella's fairy tale and change hers. Cinderella is in her room looking at the glass slipper for the ball and Abby and Jonah come in and Cinderella drops the slipper one her foot. Her foot gets really big and she can't really walk. So, now Abby and Jonah have to find a way to fix her foot before the prince shows up. They call Cinderella's fairy godmother and ask her to fix her foot. But her fairy godmother says that she has to prove that she can stand on her own two feet first and then she with fix her foot. So, Abby, Cinderella, and Jonah come up with brownies, but they don't have brownies there, so instead they call they crownies. They get some money and prove that she can stand on her own two feet. Cinderella's godmother fixes her foot, but just has she finished Cinderella's step mother came in and then there was a knock on the door. If you want to find out what happens then you should read the book.
I think that the first few chapters were good, but I didn't really like the ended. In the end Cinderella doesn't get what she is suppose to. I think that this is a great book for people who like princesses and people who like surprises. -
About 6 years ago I read a few of these stories with my oldest. Now my youngest is reading them to me, and he sister has handed down the first several stories in the series. For some reason when we read this in 2016 we never got around to writing a review for it. But my youngest insists we review everything we read, so this review from 2022 is part of that effort. Between reading with my oldest and youngest this is the ninth time I have read a book in this series. The stories have great staying power. Even as an adult I can enjoy these books, not only the first time but rereading them again and again.
Mlynowski does an excellent job with this book and the series. My oldest was a reluctant reader. Back then when we read, I would read two pages for every page she read to me. Later she a few of the books in the series to her aunt and gram on a road trip. The whole family loves these stories from 8-year old’s to 79 year old’s. It is a wonderful series.
Both my daughters and I give this story a solid 4/5 stars. We enoy the twists on the old tale. We appreciated that Abby learned a lesson about judging and realizes than many of her first assumptions were wrong. My daughters realized that things are not as they appear. We need to figure out why people are doing what they are doing. Especially if it seems weird, rude or strange. And to make sure that our own reactions are not worse than what is being done to us.
The story is another excellent take on a familiar tale. They loved that Cinderlla needs to learn to stand on her own two feet. She needs to help helself before she gets help again from Faith God Mother.
The writings in these stories is excellent. My daughters and I love reading them together. And the retelling of this story is full of surprises. It is an great book in an excellent series. -
In this adorable middle reader adventure, Jonah and Abby are sucked through their magic mirror into Cinderella's story. Abby is determined to not mess anything up thi time, but despite her best intentions, things go awry. Even as an adult, I love this series. The main characters are like real kids, but they get to jump into some of the world's best-loved children's stories and make them their own. I wish these had been around when I was a little girl. This book is for any child who likes change-ups on traditional fairy tales, like The Stinky Cheese Man or The True Story of the Three Little Pigs.

I liked the first book in this series, and I liked the second one even more! Abby and Jonah are back and quirkier than ever. I love Abby's enthusiasm and the way she frets over everything. Jonah is just plain funny. He loves to eat the most disgusting things, and always with ketchup!
I like the new twist to the story. Usually, when I read a retelling of a fairy tale, the author follows the original version fairly closely, but I enjoy the various off-roading trips this story takes. You never know where it is going to take you next. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

I loved this book the original story was so, not fair. It wasn't good that the girl wasn't the "female lead" . In this story everything changes.

The adventure continues! In If the Shoe Fits, Abby and Jonah go into the story of Cinderella. But when Cinderella's foot swells due to injury, the glass shoe won't fit! Abby and Jonah need to help her figure out how to bribe the fairy godmother into helping her foot get back to normal. I love this story because it's action-packed and the adventure never stops.

I really like this book and I really want to read the other books. I have no idea how many there are but I do not care I will read them all anyway. I thought that the story was going to end just like the original Cinderella that she was going to marry the prince but no the stepsister did which is nice. I think Cinderella will marry Gary instead which would be nice.

This is the second book in the Whatever Ever series!
Have you ever wanted to be part of a fairy tale? I sure have! I have always wanted to meet famous fairy tale characters - Rapunzel, Snow White, Cinderella, etc.
But the fairy tale, I would really want to be in, is Beauty and the Beast! That story has always been my favorite to read!
But I digress!
In this story, Abby and Jonah are drawn, into the classic fairy tale, Cinderella!
The part of the story, I liked best, was when Cinderella realized she needed to learn not to depend on a man for her happiness and well-being!
"And second, Cinderella, I don't like this attitude of yours. Not one bit. You need to rescue yourself! You need to stand on your own two feet!"
"But my foot feel broken!" Cinderella whines. "I can't stand at all!"
"Well, you'd better learn. You can't rely on a price to save you! You have to be self-reliant!" --Cinderella's Fairy Godmother, Farrah
What Cinderella ultimately decides is such a refreshing change in the fairy tale mantra. Good for you, Cinderella!
Now could I get the author to give me Cinderella's recipe for her delicious "crownies?"
I look forward to reading the next book in the series! -
- This is fun and cute! I'm really enjoying these books.
- I love the twist on Cinderella. The crownies were really clever.
- For some reason, I was expecting these two kids to meet up with classic fairy tale, but Cinderella's story is quite different.
- I always like it when one of the step sisters is nice.
- I can't wait to read this to my daughter. She'll love it.
- I love the little message of this book. Kindness and self reliance are always good things to talk about.
- I really like how these stories are told from the girl's perspective. I love her thoughts/voice. It is quirky and fun. -
“If the Shoe Fits” is the second in the Whatever After series which follows Abby and her younger brother, Jonah as they are transported to the world of Cinderella and once again seriously interfer with the fairy tale. This time Cinderella hurts her foot and it swells so much that the glass slipper will not fit. The fairy Godmother refuses to help out until Cinderella can prove that she can take care of herself and become an independent woman. Abby and Jonah try to get the story back on track with predictable results, but the twist is fun and sure to entertain the intended audience.
-
a very fun story. For any girl who's ever dreamed of being able to join the world of Fairy tales - this is the book for you!
I loved the adventure in the story but also the struggle between the siblings as they stumbled their way on Cinderella's adventure! -
This was really good. I'm loving the twists that are occurring and that these fairy tales are never what you expect. Cinderella definitely was a little more sassy than we usually expect and she definitely learned a lot in the end. I definitely will continue with the series.
-
A version of Cinderella with a twist - instead of relying on a prince, she becomes independent. Abby even learns to do laundry herself! Great fractured fairy tale. :)
-
I think this book was full of adventure and fun! By the way,have u seen a girl named Eshal?

best Cinderella mix up book that I read so far.
