4-6You Choose: Fractured Fairy Tales series.
Illustrated by
Mariano Epelbaum.
In these Choose Your Own Adventure–style books, readers take on the protagonist role and follow different fairy-tale-inspired plot lines. Perspectives and genres (e.g., urban fantasy, dystopian future) are varied; endings may be happy or sad; brave choices are typically rewarded, foolish ones punished. The narratives are sufficiently unpredictable to keep readers entertained. Black-and-white comics-like illustrations support the texts. Critical thinking questions are appended. Reading list. Review covers these You Choose: Fractured Fairy Tales titles: Little Red Riding Hood and Jack and the Beanstalk.
