November Book of the Month
November 10th, 2008 Carissa
If you love to read modern re-tellings of classic fairytales, I highly recommend the author, Shannon Hale. One of her more recent stories, Book of a Thousand Days combines elements of Rapunzel (with all of the grizzly details of what life locked in a tower might be like), Cyrano de Bergerac, a touch of Cinderella, and… a werewolf, just for good measure. I stayed up until 2:30 in the morning finishing this one! It’s a great book to cozy up with as the weather gets colder.
Other great modern fairytales you might enjoy:
Bella at Midnight by Diane Stanley
Fairest by Gail Carson Levine
Rose Daughter by Robin McKinley
