"Once upon a time..." is how all fairy tales begin. And truly, while some characters get their happily ever after, others seemingly cease to exist. While some stories are told in grand detail, others are never even mentioned. It is always about the main character; what the others experienced or felt is completely ignored.

However, shouldn't we discover what those in the background—the hidden heroes—experienced and look at events from their perspective too? For instance, were there really only 7 dwarfs in the forest? Did Master Geppetto have no other desire in life than a wooden son? How did the other chickens on the farm feel because they couldn't lay golden eggs? Why doesn't the "passing prince" in Rapunzel have an actual name? And were all Forty Thieves really, truly evil?

Master author Şermin Yaşar gives voice to the unseen heroes of classic fairy tales by declaring, "There is Room for One More." This clever, thought-provoking book invites readers to wonder about the unspoken, to think the unthought, and to view the world—and the stories we thought we knew—from every possible angle.
