This is based on Pinocchio’s story, yes, but this is really the story of the Blue Fairy. However, when I heard the pitch for this story and saw that it was being written by Elizabeth Lim, I knew I had to pick it up as soon as I could. It actually scared me as a kid, so it wasn’t one I necessarily gravitated towards. Additionally, I have only watched Pinocchio a handful of times. I have never read the source material, The Adventures Of Pinocchio, that the 1940-animated Disney film Pinocchio is inspired by. In this story, we explore the question: What if the Blue Fairy wasn’t supposed to help Pinocchio? They are completely distinct stories, each following a different set of characters, so you can start anywhere you want, with which ever story sounds most appealing to you. Also, important to keep in mind, these books can be read in any order. They’re like Disney’s version of alternate history stories and I’m low-key obsessed with them. If you are unaware, these books take our favorite Disney tales, twist one element and then explore what would have happened if that twist actually occurred. When You Wish Upon a Star is the 14th-installment to Disney’s A Twisted Tale collection. When You Wish Upon a Star: A Twisted Tale by Elizabeth Lim
