 When Goldilocks got in trouble with the three little bears she was sent away from her home to the forest with all the rest of the criminals. It’s now years later and the Charming princess have decided they want to take over the land of criminals, get rid of all the criminals. Yes, by “ get rid of” I mean murder and take the land over for themselves to gain more power. Goldilocks wants nothing to do with this. She wants to keep her home and help everybody in the forest keep their homes as well. They are after all living creatures, beings, and people too. This was a great fun story even though it made me hate all the princess. It’s an exciting and different take on fairy tales and nursery rhymes.  Plus you can read it without having read any of the other land of stories books
