...features five fairy tale graphic novels where you'll encounter familiar characters in ways you've never seen them before. Cinderella is a Ninja, Red Riding Hood is a superhero, and Snow White is a space explorer (who meets up with seven robots). At the end of each twisted fairy tale is a short overview of how it is different from the original. So cool!-- New Moon Girls, Lacey Recommends Each tale has fresh, bold artwork in different styles and with different illustrators. . . .The stories are upbeat, positive, and perfect for young readers interested in graphic novels. Recommended.-- School Library Connection
