Join the Chapter Chasers Book Club for its first meeting. We're reading The Fairy Tale Fixers by Deborah Underwood.
About this Event

Join the Chapter Chasers for our next book adventure! On the third Sunday of each month, we invite kids ages 6-8 to chat about our hidden gem early chapter book, have some fun reading aloud, then get creative with a related activity!

Join us this month in discussing The Fairy Tale Fixers by Deborah Underwood.

This is the first in a new graphic novel duet for newly independent readers, following the adventures of a rat, Fairy, and his sidekick, Mouse, who go into fairy tales to set things right (with unexpected results). With tons of jokes and witty banter, and themes of creative thinking and teamwork woven through, this story will appeal to avid readers and reluctant readers alike.

Chapter Chasers Book Club is made for emerging readers (6-8) chasing the thrill of reading their first chapter books! We encourage both independent reading and family read-alouds for Chapter Chasers. The goal of this book club is to get kids excited about books and reading, to encourage their self-identity as readers, and to foster community and social learning through a love of books!

Parents are welcome to stay on the Junior side and participate or browse the adult side. Parents of children 12 and younger must remain on-site.

Mention the book club at the shop or order online and note “book club” to get 10% off!

By attending any and all Old Town Books events you are agreeing to our code of conduct.


About the Book

The Investigators meet The First Cat in Space in this hilarious graphic novel. Fairy and Mouse will forever change young readers’ perspectives on stepmothers, princes, and pumpkins as they help Cinderella set things right when her carriage veers off course.

Every fairy tale needs a fairy. Because sometimes stories go off the rails, and this fairy knows just what to do to fix them.

Actually, he doesn’t . . . He makes it up as he goes along.

And sometimes he needs help. A lot of help. Which is where Mouse comes in.

Together, she and Fairy will make sure this tale has a happily ever after—just maybe not the one you expect.
