Half Upon a Time Trilogy

Personal Opinion: I was hooked at the covers, they are simply amazing! However the inside certainly didn't disappoint. My husband and I both loved this series so much, and I highly recommend... no, beg you to read it! I was laughing out loud one moment and biting my nails the next. Jack can't ever seem to get things right no matter how hard he tries, and yet he stubbornly doesn't want to give up trying to be good.

Overview: This is not your stereotypical princess story! It is so much better. Here's how the publisher describes the first book: 

Jack lives in a fantasy world. Really. He's the son of the infamous Jack who stole the magic beans from the giant, and he's working hard to restore his family's reputation. He finds the perfect opportunity when a "princess" lands in front of him, apparently from the land of Punk, as her Punk Princess sweatshirt implies. 

May is from our world, and she's utterly confused to find herself in the midst of the fairy tale characters she has read about. But Jack and May have more in common than they realize--and together, they embark on a hilarious and wild adventure in this modern middle grade fantasy novel.

Age Group: Main characters range from age 12-16. However, this is a series that can be enjoyed at both younger and older ages. The publisher ranks this book in reading ages of 8-15. 

Caution Content: The only thing I can think might be an issue is that the witches can be a little scary at times. No swearing, very clean. There is a hint of romance but absolutely nothing inappropriate about it.
