<b>A collection of dark, funny retellings of 7 classic and familiar fairy tales, giving young adult readers a new perspective for navigating everyday challenges. </b> "Bold, sharp and written with deceptive simplicity, and heightened by Schaap's ominous black-and-white illustrations, this is an absorbing, slyly sinister collection for 11+." --<i>Guardian</i> These are no damsels in distress, but young women of flesh and blood - who certainly don't need rescuing. In these 7 famous fairy tales turned into enchanting, inspiring and sometimes hair-raising stories for today's world, you'll find girls with their own dreams and desires, bravely facing problems that are both relatable and daunting and fighting to overcome them. <ul><li>A miller's daughter with a special gift decides marrying a prince wasn't such a good idea after all.</li><li>A determined girl gives up on trying to kiss a frog.</li><li>A fearless heroine comes face-to-face with a not-so Big Bad Wolf.</li><li>A monstrous princess, held captive on a deserted island, yearns to break free and find her true place in the world.</li><li>Two sisters, abandoned by their father, wander lost in the big city, until they meet a pair of<i> very </i>helpful old ladies.</li><li>A young maid finds something terrible in a locked room while she is cleaning the Reverend's house - then the Reverend arrives home.</li><li>A forgotten young girl learns to finally let go of her sleeping big sister and live her own life.</li></ul><br>From the author of the international bestseller <i>Of Salt and Shore</i>, and translated by the award-winning Laura Watkinson, these reimagined fairy tales are funny, feminist and achingly true to life.
