OLDER FICTION
Flinn, Alex

Bewitching

(2) YA Flinn re-imagines four fairy tales, connected through Kendra, the witch from Beastly. The traditional tales are faithfully transposed into believable new frameworks; most compelling is the story about modern-day Emma and her stepfather's daughter, beautiful and kind Lisette. Flinn skillfully keeps sympathy with Emma, making readers cheer for her, not Cinderella stand-in Lisette, to rock the ball and get the guy. A historical note is included.
