I couldn't put it down and read it really quickly. When a huge supermarket seems to appear overnight in their town, Lana takes a trip there with her mother and soon after discovers a magical portal in the sweets aisle that will send her into real fairy stories. A real character! A magical supermarket appearing suddenly overnight that includes a portal via the Pic n mix stand, right into a fairytale.

If you like fairy stories, especially the non Disney ones then this will definitely be one for you to try. The premise for this just instantly did make me smile, and it sounded such a fun read. I looked forward to each new chapter alongside them.
