Little mermaids and normal-sized pirates always create the biggest of problems, don't they?
After the surprise revelations of HALF UPON A TIME, Jack, May and Phillip could use the help of a fairy godmother or two on their search for May's true identity. Only, there might be a snag: The entire Fairy Homelands have been put to sleep by an evil curse, and waking them could be hard. That's only if by hard, you mean escaping from the Land of Never, braving a merman-infested ocean to find a Sea Witch, then fighting alongside the pirate Bluebeard against an army of land-invading sharks with legs, all while trying to outwit one of the Wicked Queen's Eyes who seems to know your every move. So, yeah, a bit hard.
But what fun would an easy fairy tale be?

I really like the book and I read it 3 times already but the ending really shocked me no matter how many times I read it, even though it was kind of obvious that it would happen. I'm not going to say what it was so I won't spoil it for those who hasn't read it yet.
This book was kind of interesting, especially the part about Neverland, where all the adults thin that they are still kids. I do like the mermaids too, even though thy are kind of scary!!
it is interesting to read
I really want to read it
This book has many cliffhangers and twists. Keep reading to have many shocks and surprises await you in every corner!
Twice Upon a Time was a bit slow to start, as it was with Half Upon a Time. But you just have to push through, and if you do, you'll find that you're on one amazing adventure.
I love this book. This book was absolutley amazing. I never wanted to put it down I wish it never ended.
I believe that you should read this book, because it is so intruiging all the way to the end. I believe that it will kind of be disappointing at the end, because, trust me, the ending will not end how you want it to. For ages 8-15
