Bookroo's summary

Wolfred, Zinderella, and the Non-Evil Queen, rejected from classic tales, enroll in the School of Failure. Can they turn their missteps into a storybook ending? Discover if persistence truly pays off in this whimsical adventure.

From the publisher

A charming fractured fairy-tale about how the road to success is often paved with mistakes and the most important thing is to keep trying. Once upon a time, there were three hopeful fairy-tale characters: Wolfred, Zinderella, and the Non-Evil Queen. Already rejected from classic fairy-tales, a happily-ever-after for these three seems a world away. So the trio is headed to the School of Failure. Once there, they discover that with patience and persistence, mistakes can also lead to the perfect storybook ending. From author Rosie J. Pova and illustrator Monika Filipina comes a charming fractured fairy-tale about beloved characters who don’t make the final cut to be in a famous story but still find their starring roles. A perfect read for fans of THE BOOK OF MISTAKES, THE TRUE STORY OF THE THREE LITTLE PIGS, or anyone who needs a reminder that the road to success is often paved with mistakes, but that shouldn’t stop us from pursuing our goals.
