Cameron Dokey is brilliant at taking fairy tales and giving them a new twist. This is the story of "Jack and the Beanstalk" but told from Jack's twin sister Gen's point of view. Jack, Gen and their mother aren't of this world, but before Jack and Gen were born, their mother escaped the fate of their father - murdered at the hand of a trusted friend looking to take the kingdom. The twins' mother escaped by a beanstalk that brought her down to our world where she gave birth to the twins. Years later, Jack purchases magic beans and his mother knows that it is now time for them to return to the "World Above."
While Jack is the impulsive one, Gen is more practical and she is the one who makes the plans to return to their home and reclaim the family throne. There is intrigue and romance, making this a fun and quick read.
