The topic today is fractured fairy-tales! I love these interesting books in all their fairy-tail-ness. Some examples of these are the following: When Rose Wakes, Cinder, Just Ella. I love all these books. i have a few ideas for novels such as these. (On of which is indeed the sleeping beauty idea. Look for it more than a few posts back.) The other, more developed idea I had was Henry and Ginny. As you may have already guessed, it is based on Hansel and Gretel. the brother and sister live in a time of war, were all weak children are sent away. Ginny loves her brother dearly, and knows they will be split up if she shows her talent for fighting. Because even though Ginny is a near perfect warrior, her brother and dearest friend has a club foot.(That is what a club foot looks like. Not very pleasant.)  She and her brother get sent to camp where they meet some other fairy tale characters. They currently don't have names, but here they are. Rapunzel; A huge Klutz, and always tripping over her tangled dirty blond hair. Cinderella; A boy, he is extreamly short for his age and used to being treated like a slave. He has gained a fighting spirit that stays strong in the bleakest situations. Snow White; She seems perfect. Beautiful, strong, cruel, and ruthless. Everyone wonders exactly why she is at camp.
And that is just about it. Tell me any advice or ideas you have!
