Genre: Mystery and Fantasy

Length: 266 pages

Summary: After the shocking ending of The Everafter War, this book picks up with Sabrina, Daphne, and Puck stuck in the Book of Everafter, where all the fairy tales are stored and enchanted characters can change their destinies. The girls (and Puck) must chase the Master through a series of stories, where they're willing to change what they need in order to save their baby brother. Soon, however, they are confronted by the Editor--the book's guardian--who, along with an army of tiny monsters known as Revisers, threatens the children with dire consequences if they don't stick to the stories. As they chase their quarry and dodge the Revisers, they meet Alice, Mowgli, Jack the Giant Killer, Hansel and Gretel, the Headless Horseman, and more. But will they find their brother in time?

My Review: This book exceeded my expectations...  And my expectations were high (like REALLY high).  Michael Buckley knows how to twist (and turn... TIGHTLY) things together to make it beautiful.

  I've read the last book, which was called The Everafter War, and was it mind blowing.  And I started doubting that Michael Buckley would begin to start losing his touch.  OH BOY was I WRONG.  (I'm not even sure why I started to doubt him.)  Although I'm not going to spoil anything for you, because I want you to read all the stressful, beautiful, wonderful, funny moments ALL FOR YOURSELF, I am going to say this.  If you want a book to read, READ THIS!  And, by the way, no one likes things ruined for themselves.
  All I can say is that, this book is phenomenal and if you were looking for a good series to begin, here you are.  (By the way, the author cranks this book's 'oh my goodness' rating very high.  Like high-high.)

  I give this book a four and half star.

  Have you read The Inside Story by Michael Buckley?  If you have, did you enjoy it?  If you haven't, do you want to read it?
