No on can twist a fairy tale like Barbara Silkstone. In Zo White and the Seven Morphs, the latest of her Fractured Fairytales, Zo is an aerial silk acrobat, working, of course, for the Grimm Brothers' Cirque show. The action starts right off the bat with a murder and Zo being whisked away by the seven mysterious morphs. In this book the craziness never ends. I don't want to give anything away by mentionining anymore of this creative cast, but whenever another strange character or scene came into play, it gave me the giggles! It had tones of Monty Python humor mixed in; pure silliness, and it was so much fun. Along with that silliness was a really good mystery plot involving an innovative, computerized magic mirror (of course!) being developed by Zo and her computer techy friend,the bad guys who want the mirror, murderers, the bullies out to take over the little guys, and the morphs running around in a blur of color here and there. I must confess, morphs kind of creeped me out before this book, but not too far into Zo White, Silkstone had developed fun personalities for all of these rainbow colored characters and the morphs had won me over. This was yet another fun, funny mystery from Barbara Silkstone!
