Amazon Product Description:
This is the previously untold story of the previously unknown 8th dwarf, named Creepy. He was banished to the basement for being different and , well, weird. Yet he played a vital - and of course previously unknown - role in the popular tale of Snow White (whose title character is an intruder Creepy refers to as "the Maid").
My thoughts:
This is a super fun, hilarious, short little story told in verse!
It was a blast to read! Creepy is a bit twisted, in a funny way. He is sarcastic and bold. The story he tells about Snow White is wonderful. I enjoyed the three-times-a-loser tale of how the old woman comes to the cottage three days in a row, dressed differently with three different fatal items for "the maid." The twist on the "true love's kiss" was interesting, and I loved how he drilled the holes in the glass coffin and left her for someone else!
Michael Mullin is a clever and creative writer. I hope to see more from him!
Michael grew up in New England , where all his sports allegiances remain. He is co-author of the successful Larry Gets Lost picture book series, and was recognized by the WGA’s Written By magazine for an animation screenplay. Before writing as a career, he taught preschool and college, two positions he found disconcertingly similar. He lives in Los Angeles

This book sounds cute! I'm glad to see such a positive review of it since I usually don't like reading things written in verse.
This book sounds amazing- and unique. I like that the story is told in verse and that it is a twist. I really want to read this book. Thanks for sharing.
