Katiyana Whyte’s world is only as big as the apple orchard she was
raised on. She can never leave the home where she grew up under the
careful eye of her great uncle Barney. But when life at the orchard
suddenly becomes dangerous and her childhood friend Jeremy begs her to
flee, Kat finds refuge in the Fluttering Forest with seven dwarfs.
Meanwhile, the queen of Mayhem, an evil sorceress, learns through her
magic mirror that the daughter she believed to be dead still lives.
Enraged, she sends a servant to kill Kat, the princess of Mayhem, but
Kat finds protection in a spell that causes snowstorms whenever she is
in danger, giving her the nickname Snow Whyte.

A Reader's Opinion
I've read a few variations of Snow White and I have to admit that I really appreciated the direction the author took with this adaptation. Imagine yourself sitting down in a circle with the storyteller on a chair in the center--that's what I pictured while reading this book. The majority of this book is written as a story being told and I've always preferred more showing with dialogue, but that didn't necessarily prevent me from enjoying it. My favorite character turned out to be the "mirror, mirror, on the wall", but that's all I'm going to say about that because I don't want to give a spoiler.
I'll admit that I was surprised with the revealing of certain characters in the end and the author did a nice job with the surprise factor. This would be a great story to read out loud to children as a bedtime story and is a nice clean read for all audiences.
