| Fairy tales hold a special place in many people’s lives. Adaptations are everywhere right now, making readers hungry for more fairy tale adventures from your digital library. Here are some of our current favorites: Elementary:  The fabulous Sisters Grimm series by Michael Buckley and the Frog Princess collection from E.D. Baker are both perfect for elementary students. Anne Ursu also has written some amazing fairy tale adaptations. Breadcrumbs adapts Hans Christian Andersen's The Snow Queen, while The Real Boy provides a subtle adaptation of Pinocchio with a magical edge. The Real Boy was also on the 2013 National Book Award Longlist. Young Adult:  Tom McNeal's amazing novel Far Far Away, a National Book Award Finalist and Edgar Award Finalist, is a fantastic and unexpected mystery with intriguing characters. Marissa Meyer's Lunar Chronicles series (Cinder, Scarlet, and Cress) mashes up fairy tales with the dystopian genre. Heather Dixon's Entwined provides an enchanting twist on the tale of the Twelve Dancing Princesses. Wendy Delsol's Frost is a darkly romantic adaptation of The Snow Queen, in a high school setting.
