Ole Könnecke
A brisk, humorous rescue adventure in which Dulcinea uses her wits to confront a witch and navigate enchanted obstacles, with illustrations that contrast her calm manner with the witch’s theatricality.
Kathryn Purdie
A good fit for readers drawn to eerie fairy-tale retellings, magical quests, mysteries and determined protagonists. Its central journey carries genuine danger, while its romantic thread and unresolved ending may shape the reading experience.
Radiya Hafiza
Rumaysa’s search for her parents leads into a magical adventure involving a queen, traditional fairy-tale figures and unusual creatures. The story combines danger, humour and a heroine who takes an active, compassionate role.
Clotilde Perrin
Expect a visually rich, participatory chase through Three Little Pigs, Hansel and Gretel, and Sleeping Beauty settings. The child hides behind layered flaps and cut-outs before confronting the monsters rather than continuing to run.
