The first installment of Sarah Mylowski's New York Times bestselling series!
Mirror, mirror, on the basement wall . . .
Once upon a time my brother and I were normal kids. The next minute? The mirror in our basement slurped us up and magically transported us inside Snow White's fairy tale.
I know it sounds crazy, but it's true.
But hey -- we're heroes! We stopped Snow White from eating the poisoned apple. Hooray! Or not. If Snow White doesn't die, she won't get to meet her prince. And then she won't get her happy ending. Oops.
Now it's up to us to:
- Avoid getting poisoned
- Sneak into a castle
- Fix Snow White's story
And then, fingers crossed, find our way home.

Whatever After 1# Fairest of All look really cool! I love books about princesses! Snow White is my favorite princess! I really want to read it!
I thought this book was really good. It was funny, suspenseful, and very different from the original Snow White story. From beginning to end, it was the perfect story.
Whatever After #1 Fairest of All looks like a really cool book! I love fantasy and princess! I also love Snow White! I can't wait to read this book!
Whatever After is about a girl named Abby and her younger brother Jonah. They have a magical mirror that transports them to a different farirytale. The first time they get transported to Snow White's fairytale. They stop her from eating the apple, but now they can't get home. This book has an awesome twist on Snow White and so do all the other books in the series.
I saw this book in the library and it looked good
i liked this book the first time i read it but the second time it got sort of boring and i read something else i liked.
Okay... maybe this isn't my favorite book but hey! It's way better than Snow White or any other princess things. About a girl named Abby who gets sucked to into Snow White's story.
This book was not the best, but not the worst book ever written in history. It had a nice touch of humor and about a sister and brother who were simply downstairs int he basement with a "mirror on the wall". The next minute, they were in Snow White's fairy tale. The problem is that once they save Snow White from eating the poisoned apple, they then realize that means that Snow White just won't meet her prince which means she won't get her grand happily ever after. So then it's up to the siblings to fix the fairy tale AND try to find their way home. I think because I read this book when I was pretty old, it wasn't a good choice. If I had been younger, I think I would've liked it more so if you are seven to nine, that age would be good for this book.
Whatever After: Fairest of All is a pretty good book. Now, I'm not a fairy tale, happy ever after type of person, but I've got to admit, this novel was stunning. Abby has a realistic and typical teenage girl attitude, while Jonah is all for adventure. Now, Abby just wants to go home to her old house, and get away from Smithville. She hates the new place, and is totally creeped out by a mirror in the basement. But obviously, her annoying little brother always wrecks her chances of trying to maintain a normal life in the area. While "babysitting" Jonah, they end up being whisked away into the story of Snow White. At first, they have no idea what's going on and they need to find a way out. After exploring, they find an old lady with a basket of apples walking towards a pale- skinned girl with black hair. Wait a second...isn't that from a fairy tale or something? Oh yeah...it's Snow White...but she's about to get poisoned! After supposedly saving the day by not letting Snow White eat the poisoned apples, they realize their mistake. How will Snow White find her prince now? Oops. Funny, unique and eventful, this book will definitely appeal to grades 3-6+. This is a great book, and I hope you consider reading it over the summer!
