Praise for Tale Spins
Not usually enamoured of either re-tellings or poetry I was totally taken aback by just how much I relished this trilogy of alternative fairytales and re-tellings aimed at the Young Adult market. ~Tracy (Goodreads)
TaleSpins was like walking into a vintage store and finding a true treasure. This book takes the fairytales we all grew up on and gives them an interesting and modernized version that I enjoyed. ~Rose (Goodreads)
I loved TaleSpins! The stories are cute and funny - each putting a different twist on classic characters. I thought each one would be my favorite until I started to read the next. The Eighth dwarf was well named (in many ways), and I loved his interactions. The Princess Poppy was just a great character, and this new version of Jack and the Beakstalk really had you thinking.
The writing style is part of what made this book so wonderful. Told lyrically, like a nursery rhyme, you couldn't help but keep reading and the pages flew by. I would recommend this to fairy tale lovers, or anyone who is just looking for something a little different.
