(3) YA Romance blossoms and adventures ensue when Friday Woodcutter falls in love with a young man who, along with his six brothers, takes the shape of a swan by day. Kontis's enticingly tangled revisions of classic tales continue is this third volume about the magical Woodcutter family (Enchanted; Hero). Limited backstory and Kontis's inventively anarchic style will challenge uninitiated readers but gratify established fans.

(3) YA Saturday, the most ordinary of the seven sisters first introduced in Enchanted, gets her own adventure in this romantic romp through a magic-infused world peopled with fairy-tale characters and plenty of quirky folk brewed in Kontis's own imagination. The playful narrative style sometimes borders on giddy, but the author's wit and ear for clever phrasing sustain this light and amusing fantasy.

(3) YA Kontis pulls threads from a dozen different fairy tales to weave a complex tapestry that is half fantasy romance and half family saga. The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, Sunday has fallen in love with an enchanted frog, which provides the tale’s focal point. Witty narration and clever dialogue help make this novel memorable.

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Kolar. This entertaining alphabet book purposely jumbles the letters, starting with H for Halloween and proceeding in random fashion through various Halloween-y words: "F is for Frankenstein. / C is for creature." Crisp, colorful digital illustrations depict the playfully spooky spectacle as the letters gather to perform a show.

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Bob Kolar. Tired of being last, the letter Z leads a raucous call for reordering, which leads to silly alphabet anarchy and the message that it's okay to mix things up. Bold, colorful digitally created illustrations add to the humor. The text presents some creative letter associations, such as "A is for accordian" (although the title's "oops" could also refer to the book's misspelling of accordion).
