Having two lawyers for parents, she knows enough about the practice of law that she's already decided she wants to be a judge when she's older. She looks out for her younger brother and is determined to make sure he's safe, no matter what. When the book starts out in the real world, she is a bit out of sorts being the new kid in town but she's trying to make it work. Abby is a great role model for young kids. The brother and sister decide they must right the story and give Snow her 'happily ever after.'What I really appreciated about this book was how much of a feminist message it brought across while being entirely entertaining and not at all preachy.

At first they congratulate themselves on saving Snow's life but then they realize it means she will never meet Prince Charming and fall in love with him.

Before they realize what's going on, the siblings end up discouraging Snow White from eating the poisoned apple from her evil stepmother. The Fairest of All involves a tween girl named Abby getting inadvertently sucked into a fairy tale world alongside her younger brother, the 7-year-old Jonah. Having read only this book, I can't vouch for the entire series but I was very impressed with this one. The Whatever After series is great! I highly recommend it!
