Here is the sixteenth magical installment of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series of fractured fairy tales for fearless kids!

And keep an eye out for Book 17: Mirror Mirror, the thrilling finale to the classic series!

My little brother Jonah and I have a magic mirror in our basement. This time, the mirror sucks us up and drops us into the story of Pinocchio. Our task? To help Gepetto get his wooden puppet son, Pinocchio, to go to school. But even though his nose grows when he lies, Pinocchio is tricky — and he ends up sneaking back into OUR world with us!

So now we need to:

-Find the Blue Fairy.

-Convince our friends and teachers that Pinocchio is our cousin . . . but lying isn't easy when your nose grows!

-And avoid ending up in the belly of a shark.

We need to find a way to get Pinocchio home . . . and that's no lie!
