The girls are still following the clues they get from the mapestry to try and discover the hidden treasure. X marks the spot right? In this case yes and no. I am always entertained when reading these books.
We get to learn a lot more about Red, Snow, Rapunzel, Cinder, Wolfgang, and Ms. Wicked. These characters and this story blend together so nicely that it is almost like you are reading an original fairy-tale!
