Includes an excerpt for The School For Good and Evil (pages 1-4 at end of work).
Red riding hood -- Snow White -- Sleeping Beauty -- Rapunzel -- Jack and the beanstalk -- Hansel and Gretel -- Beauty and the Beast -- Bluebeard -- Cinderella -- The Little Mermaid -- Rumpelstiltskin -- Peter Pan.
Twelve tales, twelve dangerous tales of mystery, magic, and rebellious hearts. Each twists like a spindle to reveal truths full of warning and triumph, truths that free hearts long kept tame, truths that explore life, and death. A prince has a surprising awakening. A beauty fights like a beast. A boy refuses to become prey. A path to happiness is lost, then found again. New York Times bestselling author Soman Chainani respins old stories into fresh fairy tales for a new era and creates a world like no other. These stories know you. They understand you. They reflect you. They are tales for our times. So read on, if you dare.

LOVE THIS BOOK!!!!!!! submitted by Josephine Speyer on June 11, 2023, 7:07am I seriously love this book. It has a bunch of rewritten tales (Snow White and Bluebeard are the best), and it's...lush. If you haven't read it, you won't know what I mean. So read it!
