   okay

   Unlocking the Spell is another level of the traditional fairy tales like Snow White and the Huntsman and many others. In my opinion, I believe book isn’t quite as good as Snow White and the Huntsman as I think it should be for younger people (9 – 10) as it is replaying the fairy tales but in a very slightly older way. It is based around a dwarf turning magical humans into animals, which I find isn’t very imaginative for a book that long. In addition, there is a long journey but no sense of proper adventure. I would say it’s not one of my top 25 books.
