The reviled villainesses of Snow White, Cinderella, and Rapunzel team up to set the record straight in a subversively funny short story by the number one New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay.

Envious queen? Evil stepmother? Kidnapping hag? Elsinora, Gwendolyn, and Marguerite are through with warts-and-all tabloids, ugly lies, and the three ungrateful brats who pitted them against each other and the world. But maybe there’s more to the stories than even the Wickeds know. Is it time to finally get revenge? After all, they’re due for a happily-enough-ever-after. Even if they have to write it themselves.

The Wickeds is part of Faraway, a collection of retold fairy tales that take the happily-ever-after in daring new directions. Whether read or listened to in one sitting, prepare to be charmed, moved, enlightened, and frightened all over again.


Gayle Forman is the number one New York Times bestselling author of If I Stay, which was adapted into an award-winning film, as well as the Just One series and I Have Lost My Way. Her work has also appeared in the New York Times, Elle, Time, and other publications. She lives in Brooklyn with her family.

REVIEW:
This is the last short story in this series, and I am saddened at that.
I think they saved the best for last any way.
This had the three of the major fairytale princesses in it. Snow White, Cinderella and Rapunzel. It was basically their lives with a twist! I really enjoyed it too, it was magical and still held key elements of the original fairytale. 
Definitely my favorite of the series!
I think fairytale fans should read this set, and it's short enough you can do it in a day!


5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
