Summary

Once upon a time, in faraway Grimmlandia. . .

No matter how many lucky charms she wears, Snow White can't catch a break. She's especially worried that her stepmom, Ms. Wicked, is a member of the E.V.I.L. Society. Snow and her friends Red, Cinda, and Rapunzel are trying to stop E.V.I.L.'s plans to destroy Grimm Academy, but Snow seems to be jinxing all their efforts. Her luck might change if she can find her own truly magical charm -- before it falls into E.V.I.L. hands!

Booklist Review

In this third Grimmtastic Girls installment, Snow White takes her turn (after Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood) as the central character at Grimm Academy. The 12-year-old begins the book reliant on her many good-luck charms to deal with her seemingly malevolent stepmother, Ms. Wicked. As she and her friends continue to work against the evil forces besetting the school, Snow realizes that a good part of luck is being prepared. The series seems overly prince-obsessed (and its covers are awfully pink and cartoony), but Holub and Williams' clever characters, such as the tantrum-prone academy principal, Rumpelstiltskin, will divert young readers not yet ready for Hogwarts and other complicated realms.--Nolan, Abby Copyright 2014 Booklist
