My Rotten Stepbrother RUINED SNOW WHITE JERRY MAHONEY
For G-Mo
Chapter 1 Maddie stepped through the door of the tiny cottage and saw seven small beds lined up side by side There were seven teeny chairs around the dinner table seven petite coat hooks on the back of the door and seven shrimpy wardrobes filled with seven miniature mining hats and pocket-sized pickaxes She twirled around in her beautiful dress humming a happy song It was a dream come true for her She was Snow White standing in the dwarfs cottage Maddie they need you in makeup Mrs Greenberg said Be right there Maddie replied It was the dress rehearsal of the school’s production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs It was also the first time Maddie had ever snagged the lead in a play Good thing her friend Tasha wasn’t jealous like the Wicked Queen the part she was playing Maddie approached her stepmother Carol who had volunteered to do the makeup for the show For the first time Maddie got a glimpse at how Tasha was going to look in the scene where the Queen disguises herself as an old beggar woman She barely recognized her friend with her rotten teeth crooked nose and lumpy skin What do you think Snow White Carol asked Maddie Does she look wicked enough for you I want to go hide in the woods already Maddie said Where’d you get all this makeup Well they didn’t have the budget for the professional stuff so I improvised The lumpy skin is just oatmeal The rotten teeth come from chewing gum I dyed black And the nose is papier mâché Maddie your stepmother is a crafting genius Tasha said I know Maddie replied She thought of all the cool things Carol had done for her
