Chronicles of Never After follows Filomena Jefferson-Cho, a bookworm who discovers that the fairy tales she loves are actually real. When she stumbles into the world of Never After, she finds herself at the center of an adventure involving Sleeping Beauty’s thirteenth fairy, Snow White’s magic mirror, and other classic story elements gone wrong.
The series gives Melissa De La Cruz’s signature twist to familiar fairy tales, placing a modern girl in a magical realm where happily ever after is under threat. Each book tackles different fairy tale characters and stories, building a connected world where all these tales exist together.
Written for middle grade readers, the Chronicles of Never After books are lighter than De La Cruz’s YA work but keep her knack for mixing fantasy adventure with humor and heart.
