Title: Snow and Rose
Author: Emily Winfield Martin
Pages: 205
Finished: January 3, 2018
First Sentence: Once, there were two sisters
Summary: This is the story of Snow White and Rose Red, two sisters who live in the forest, save a gnome, and befriend a bear. Only it's not quite that story. There's a library with goats for one. And a mushroom farmer. And many other delightful little embellishments to make the story so lovely.
Thoughts: Martin clearly took the fairy tale and turned it into a middle grade piece of literature. There's no love interest in this story about a pair of sisters aged 9 and 11. But it doesn't need it. The sisters are perfect in themselves. Both strong in their own ways as they figure out the mysteries of the forest. I really liked this book and definitely would recommend it to readers 4th grade through 6th or 7th.
The book itself is also gorgeous. It has pictures. Such lovely pictures. The pages have a lovely weight to them. It's the right size. All in all a wonderful reading experience.
