My Thoughts

This story is a unique and humorous take on the fairytale “Snow White”. Written in verse this story tells the tale of an unknown 8^th dwarf and his take on what really happened.

The story is a great example that there are always two sides to every story and that even the small characters play a big role in stories. I loved the attitude of the main character “Creepy”. He was so real and even though he was different than most he liked himself for who he was and didn’t care what anyone else thought. I can’t say that there was any part of the story in particular that was my favorite because pretty much every part held my interest for various reasons. It was just so lighthearted and humorous while still having a moral like most fairytales. I believe that the moral of this story is to never take people for granted and never judge a book by its cover. So for a lighthearted original take on a classic fairytale read Michael Mullin’s “The Previously Untold Story of the Previously Unknown 8^th Dwarf”.
