Summary

The Never After crew returns for another thrilling adventure in The Broken Mirror. They journey to Snow Country after rescuing Lord Sharif of Nottingham from an unconventional Robin Hood, whose mischief threatens the land. Meanwhile, the evil Queen Olga has cursed Prince Charming, transforming him into a frog just after his wedding, setting off a chain of events that draw Filomena and her friends into an urgent quest. Alongside allies like Rose Red and a magical talking mirror, they seek the League of the Seven, fearless warriors tasked with fighting the ogres and saving the kingdom from dark forces. Their mission is fraught with danger and twists as threats emerge both in Never After and in their hometown of North Pasadena.

Description

The Never After crew is back for another twisted adventure. This time, they're off to Snow Country after they rescue the beleaguered Lord Sharif of Nottingham from the evil Robin Hood, who has been plaguing the land with his thievery and mischief.

But Robin's antics aren't the only dangers afoot in the Kingdom of Never After. At the behest of her daughter, the evil Cinderella, Queen Olga has turned Prince Charming into a Frog after his wedding to the beautiful Hortense. And how could we forget the ominous Prophecy, which still looms large over Filomena and her friends?

Along with Jack, Alistair, Gretel, Beatrice, Byron Bessley, and some new Snow Country pals like Rose Red and a chatty magic mirror, Filomena sets off to find the only ones who can save the kingdom once and for all: The League of the Seven—a group of fearless warriors devoted to fighting the ogres at any cost.

Still, new threats lurk around every corner, both in Never After and back home in North Pasadena. Even with the League of the Seven's help, can Filomena and her friends rescue the land from Olga's clutches? Or will the ogres finally prevail?
