On the darkest night, amidst a terrifying storm, Dinah's parents go missing. While anxious Dinah and her brother and sister worry and huddle for warmth, their cousin, Gage, tells them an unlikely story - that tooth fairies, known as skibbereen, are living in warring colonies right in the neighborhood. According to Gage, they actually put those teeth to good use. And he, Gage, has met them. Dinah is skeptical, but as the story unfolds and the storm rages on, she begins to believe. By turns touching and comic, What-the-Dickens is a decidedly imaginative journey into myth that could only have been penned by that premier interpreter of the fairy-tale world, Gregory Maguire.

fun story when I didn't want to read any thriller or anything too serious. I actually gave it to my 13 year old grand daughter, who I hope will enjoy it as much as I did.

Extremely interesting., November 06, 2015

That ended up being a really melancholy book. I'm not sure I'd recommend this one to most kids, simply because of the depths of its personal, understated sadness. Despite the touching moments and memorable characters, the book ends up feeling unfinished. This book deserves a sequel, if not a series. I was not quite ready to leave this world just yet, and I don't think Gregory Maguire was, either.

For a five star rating, it has to be a book I can't put down. While this book wasn't that, it was a fun, easy read. I'm glad I read it.

Another Good Book from Gregory Maguire, April 29, 2015
By Ellie&Drysdale
|

I really love Gregory Maguire. I read Wicked long before it was a musical, got hooked, and proceeded to read everything else by this author I could get my hands on. This story isn't as long, but it follows Maguire's pattern of weaving fairy tales, politics and other seemingly disparate themes together, which always challenges me and makes me think. Great book for a discussion group.
