The Grimmtastic Girls series promises to be a fun, flirty, modern twist on fairy tale characters that is sure to please.  While the idea of a fairy tale “training school” is not a new idea, Holub and Williams have put their own flavor of fun into it that preteens will especially love. The first book, centered on Cinderella, sets up for a fun romp through Grimm Academy and a new twist on the tale of the glass slippers and midnight ball.  Though there is little depth to the characters or dialogue, readers looking for a bit of entertainment will enjoy a fresh depiction of familiar figures, both bad and good, as the young group of friends tries to save both the school and the land from a mysterious villain.
