Under-Rated Retellings

My first read of the year was Dorothy Must Die, which was a re-read and so it got me thinking about some of the retellings that I absolutely love, but don’t really get the traction that they deserve. So here are 5 of my favourite retellings that I think deserve so much more love.

• Fawkes by Nadina Brandes – YA Historical Fantasy retelling of Guy Fawkes and the Gun Powder Plot
• Scarlet by AC Gaughen – YA retelling of Robin Hood
• Tiger Lily by Jodi Lynn Anderson – YA retelling of Peter Pan, told from the perspective of Tiger Lily
• Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige – YA reimagining of The Wizard of Oz (more of a sequel)
• Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter – YA dystopia retelling of Alice in Wonderland
