A determined girl gives up on kissing a frog. A fearless heroine comes face-to-face with a not-so Big Bad Wolf. A monstrous princess, held captive on a deserted island, yearns to break free.

Within this book are seven famous fairy tales turned into enchanting, inspiring and sometimes hair-raising stories for today's world, about girls with their own dreams and desires. These are no damsels in distress, but real young women of flesh and blood — who certainly don't need rescuing.

I loved this story collection, which is sometimes dark and sometimes funny, but always beautifully written. As a Lampie fan, I was prepared to love it, but what I think really set it apart from other fairy tale rewrites of this kind is how different and fully formed the characters were. The women and girls were heroines but also villains, so there was a lot of complexity. Schaap is a really keen observer of human nature and that was really apparent in Biscuits, Blue, and Monster Girl particularly. The narrator is wonderful too.
