Daisy Meadows
This is a magical, fairy-tale adventure in which two girls help fairy friends after a theft disrupts familiar stories. Its appeal may lie in seeing storybook worlds become tangled.
Jacob Devlin
This is an imaginative fairy-tale adventure about family, friendship and finding missing people, combining modern Virginia with an older magical world. Its shifting settings, time structure and recognisable story figures may appeal to readers who enjoy elaborate retellings.
Elizabeth Lim
A folklore-infused fantasy about a cursed princess undertaking dangerous trials to save her brothers. Its strongest threads are family loyalty, courage, sacrifice and repairing harm, while its trials include physical danger, death and bereavement.
E. Lockhart
This is a literary mystery built around reconstruction rather than straightforward answers. Its fractured voice, fairy-tale patterns and shifting interpretations invite close attention to what Cadence notices, misunderstands or cannot remember.
Cindy Pham
