Off the Bookshelf: EVER AFTER HIGH, by Shannon Hale

Five Short Stories

Apple White's Story
Briar Beauty's Story
Raven Queen's Story
Madeline Hatter's Story
Ashlynn Ella's Story

These were 5 free short-shorts I found on Nook, introductions to Ever After High, where essentially the children of faerie tale heroines go to school and get trained to step into their mother's shoes someday.

All five of our heroines are preparing to head back to school for their Legacy Year -- where they sign a contract to take over their mothers' roles: Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, The Mad Hatter, and the Evil Queen.

Interesting concept!

Can't tell you much more than this because it would give away way too much of each girl's very short introduction -- kind of like the 1-minute teaser before the opening credits of the TV show start. And yeah, like an appetizer, to make you want to get the whole book and read it. "Just how is she going to get out of THAT situation?"
