About the Other Side of the Story series
Was Cinderella annoyingly chatty? Was the Big Bad Wolf a victim of circumstance? Just because these classic stories are usually told from the hero’s point of view doesn't mean the villains don't have their side of the story too. In the Other Side of the Story series, readers are encouraged to consider multiple perspectives before making up their minds about what really happened!
