After countless hours (days?) of digging, Aladdin, Abu and the Carpet make it into the desert and back to Agrabah-ĭisney Hyperion Press is introducing A Whole New World: A Twisted Tale as the first of what will hopefully be a very successful series of familiar stories turned on their heads. They land on the Magic Carpet and avoid being boiled alive in lava and Aladdin laments: the old man, or maybe not so old, had tried to kill him, and now he has the lamp. The old man (who we know to be Jafar) grabs him, aiming to give Aladdin his (clears throat, prepares) “Eternal Reward!” Just as Jafar is preparing to bring down the knife and kill Aladdin, little Abu bites him and he drops them both into the cave. The Cave of Wonders has imploded, and Aladdin is hanging from a rock ledge, waiting for the old man to pull him up after Aladdin has given him the lamp. A free copy of A Whole New World was provided by Netgalley and Disney Hyperion for a fair and honest review. Note: This review contains light spoilers for the novel A Whole New World and bigger ones for the film Aladdin.
