The Unfairy Tale

A tactless peasant girl, a kingdomless king, an enchanted bear, a diminutive dragon, and a less than perfect boy battle the evil Wamlock. Their story is read by Amanda and her friends, fifth grade girls looking for a break from the reality of geography tests, Clarence the Bug-Eyed Creep, and family crises. Their lives intersect mysteriously with the lives of the fairy-tale characters, leaving the girls to wonder whether there isn't some magic at work after all.
