About the book:

Some fairytales are funny. Some fairytales are sad. And some fairytales are dangerous. What if your little sister became trapped inside a scary fairytale and could not escape? Lizzy’s careless wish, that she didn’t have a pesky sister at all, has made little Georgie disappear. Now Lizzy must battle big, furry bears, a crazy witch, an enormous ogre and a sly wolf to get her little sister safely back home. But nothing is as scary as it seems at first, in this hilarious adventure.
