This book has two problematic authors: Rory Power and Meredith Russo. If I’d known they were in this book, I would not have picked it up.

Another fantastic collection of retellings. There were some that didn't strike home for me, but most were excellent.

A great update on various fairy tales (of mostly, if not all, European origin) from various awesome YA authors. Included in the back are original versions of the fairy tales, so you can compare what they were given to what they wrote. And even if all the fairy tales are your traditional European stock, the stories themselves are not. I really liked it.
