This week, I'm sharing fairy tale retellings for teens. Here are a few of my favorites . . . .
When Sunday Woodcutter, the youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week, kisses an enchanted frog, he transforms back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland--a man Sunday's family despises.
Snow in Summer by Jane Yolen
Recasts the tale of Snow White, setting it in West Virginia in the 1940s with a stepmother who is a snake-handler.
Princess of the Midnight Ball by Jessica Day George
A retelling of the tale of twelve princesses who wear out their shoes dancing every night, and of Galen, a former soldier now working in the king's gardens, who follows them in hopes of breaking the curse.
The Rumpelstiltskin Problem by Vivian Vande Velde
The author presents six alternative versions of the familiar story of a boastful miller and the daughter he claims can spin straw into gold.
