Editorial Reviews

Review

"Newbery-winning Keller includes some familiar characters from well-known stories while adding some new dimension with a contemporary spin. The girls are told they cannot make changes to the stories as written, but when they start seeing the dark side of things, they decide they'll do anything to get back home. Themes of friendship, honesty, and integrity really shine here, and the girls' journey to safety makes for an exciting page-turner." –Booklist

"Keller leans into the power of fairy tales, friendship, and self-acceptance via this quickly paced fantasy. Familiar elements combine with vivid storytelling and cartoon renderings by Rodríguez (Bella’s Recipe for Success) to underline themes of adventure and self-discovery." - Publishers Weekly

5.0 out of 5 stars Magically authentic!
Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2023
I loved this book! It's a simple story with twists that make it deep and complex read. The characters and their worries are authentic to the middle grade experience and I wanted to give all of them, especially Mihi, a big hug. Highly recommend!

4.0 out of 5 stars Follow your dreams with a dash of adventure!
Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2022
Mihi is a fourth grader who lives with her family, including her grandparents, above the pet store they own. She loves princesses and is just sure that she's meant to be one someday. Sadly, her best friend, Genevieve, has decided that princesses are too babyish to like and told Mihi that Mihi that she'll never be a princess because she's "just not the princess type." Determined to prove Genevieve wrong, Mihi takes on a challenge, breaks a school rule, and gets stuck in detention, which turns out to be indoor recess in the library. Luckily for Mihi, there she meets Savannah and Reece and together they discover a portal into fairy tale land.

At first it's exciting and new, but the longer they're in fairy tale land, the more dangerous it becomes and the more tempted Mihi is to stay. Should they stay and become princesses, or should they find a way back home?

Written with the same expertise and ingenuity as her other middle grade books, Keller captures what it's like to be a kid with a dream. Readers will relate to Mihi's passion and desire to achieve her dream, as well as her longing for true friends. They will understand her choices, good and bad, and with Mihi, learn what true friendship really is. All of this with a dash of adventure thrown in! i devoured this book in just a couple hours and I'm excited to share it with all my patrons at the library who enjoy middle grade fiction. If you like adventure, princesses, fairy tales, and family in your MG books, definitely give this one a try! 4.5 stars

Have you always wanted to be in a fairy tale? You can join Mihi on her journey to become a princess, but you just might learn you don’t want to be in one of those stories after all!

4.0 out of 5 stars Fresh twisted fariytale
Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2022
I really liked this book by Tae Keller. It was a very interesting take on a twisted fairy tale and honestly not one I have seen before which is saying alot as the market is currently flooded with them. It was easy to get attached to the characters and I could see girls this age banding together quickly, esp when they are all "outsiders". I was impressed with the character growth in all of them and felt the friendship was not forced and while actions were forgiven they were not forgotten which felt more realistic. I am excited to see where Keller takes the story from here.

3.0 out of 5 stars A fairy tale untelling
Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2022

Recently I've read a bunch of fairy tale retellings. (Thank you, Marissa Meyer!) Tae Keller's Mihi Ever After made a refreshing change. In it, as the publisher tells us, Mihi and her new friends Savannah and Reese discover a portal to a fairy tale realm, and they get a chance to learn how to be princesses. If you were in the business of collecting fairy tale realms found in portal fantasy, you would judge this a fairly typical one. What happens there, though, is not.

Keller won a Newbery Medal for her novel When You Trap a Tiger. (Thus, the "Winner of the Newbery Medal" notation on the cover of Mihi Ever After accurately refers to author Tae Keller. The publishers are obviously being a little sneaky here, hoping you'll think this book is a Newbery Medalist.) When You Trap a Tiger fully deserves the honor -- it's an entrancing tale that combines Korean folklore with a real-life story. But perhaps the most interesting part to me was Keller's Author's Note, in which she describes how her Halmoni (that's grandmother -- 할머니) told her stories of ghosts and tigers. When later in life she looked up these old Korean stories, she couldn't find her Halmoni's stories. "Maybe my halmoni had told different versions, and invented some entirely."

Thus Keller was launched on her career of literary crime: making new fairy tales. As I wrote in my review of Tiger,

"Keller respects and reveres her Korean heritage. However, she is also aware that in Korean culture women and girls are traditionally kept quiet and off-stage. ... In the Author's Note, Keller explains how she came to see the Tiger as a symbol of a girl's freedom. Thus the book combines respect for Korean tradition with a kind of rebellion against it."

That, making fairy tales anew, is what Mihi Ever After is about. And if I gave any more detail, I would spoil it, so I'll leave it at that.
