    Have fun reliving all of your childhood fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Only enjoy them with an older sense of the
    world.

    You will laugh and be amazed at the clever twists Heather J. Cuthbertson, the author, has been able to put on some
    of your old favorites: Humpty Dumpty, Georgie Porgie, Cinderella, and Little Bo Peep are just a few of the
    tales revisited. Only this time, none of the girls are victims. They are strong enough to fend for themselves and solve
    their problems—even if it means being sneaky or mean.

    Ms. Cuthbertson has created a quick read that will make you laugh out loud, and, if you’re a girl, stand a little
    taller. You may not be as wicked as some of the girls in this book, but sometimes it’s fun to live vicariously through
    the gutsy so-not-like-you actions of others. Or maybe they’re not so not-like-you. (Wink. Wink.)

    Even guys will enjoy reading about these naughty ladies.
