The Whatever After series is Sarah Mlynowski’s most popular work, running to nineteen books since Fairest of All (2012). Each book sends siblings Abby and Jonah into a different fairy tale, from Snow White and Cinderella to The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. The twist is that they inevitably mess up the story and have to figure out how to set things right.
The series has been a consistent bestseller in middle grade fiction. Titles like Sink or Swim (2013), Beauty Queen (2015), and Good as Gold (2021) reimagine familiar fairy tales with humor and modern sensibility. The most recent entry is Mirror Mirror (2025).
