One of my first books from Chris Colfer, a favourite author of my students! This graphic novel has an excellent story, amazing illustrations, and a great cast of characters.
For readers grade 5-7: wow

100% recommend this to anyone who loves fairy tales and graphic novels or just loves the work of Chris colfer. You see the story before Alex and Connor come into the fairy tale world ( the land of stories series ) you also see the back story of Goldilocks now I know what I happened I kinda hate red ( red riding hood ) the art is fantastic and hopefully we can see more graphic novels in the future as I truly enjoyed this maybe we can get a YA graphic novel

Even from the beginning of The Land of Stories, I loved Goldilocks. I thought she was brave, strong, and amazing. This book that focuses on her just proves me right.
In this book, we get to see how Goldilocks has been spending her years and surviving in the Dwarf Forests. We see the people she is close with (well, one person and her horse, Porridge), all the people she interacts with, and the people she hates. Goldie is portrayed as a strong and competent thief, which she is. She excels in what she does, and she’s found a way to live in the Dwarf Forests, despite what anyone may have thought about her before. That is, until the royals (more specifically: the Prince Charmings) start to threaten every creature that lives in the Dwarf Forests. Since the Charmings want to gain more land, they try to take the Dwarf Forests and execute everyone who lives there. Goldilocks ends up finding out about this scheme via Puss in boots and has to convince the creatures who live in the Dwarf Forests to fight for their home.
Firstly, it was great to finally know more about Goldie’s backstory. Since the beginning of The Land of Stories series, I have wondered what could force such a true love apart, and because of this book, I finally have an answer. We get to see how Goldie and Jack were as children, and personally, I thought they were very cute. Also, speaking of Jack, he gets to reunite with Goldie and explain to her that he never sent that note to her in this book. I was so happy to see them together, because they are my favorite couple from The Land of Stories. I loved getting to know more about both the new and old characters. I loved Jack and Goldie’s moments together, and overall, I loved this book.

Strong feminist lead character, appealing illustrations that remind me of Disney. Good story.

I love Chris Colfer‘s narrative of Goldilocks, so naturally I loved this graphic novel. The art was not my favourite style of all time, but it was fine overall.
Especially loved all the feminist icons <3
