Fairy Tales for Modern Queers

By Emily Reed

Book Overview

Gay teenager Hart could finish his fairy tale for class if his horrible stepsiblings would stop harassing him. Talia's depression is like a sleeping curse and may kill her if she doesn't ask for help. Independent, overweight bisexual Sienna deals with her "nice guy" neighbor while visiting her grandmother. When a mysterious girl climbs up Rachael's fire escape, Rachael might finally break free from her overprotective mother. Transgender Amelia is bullied regularly for her identity, but she'll show everyone exactly who she is. Princess Rellyn must face down a dragon since she's seventh in line and battle her father since she's not a boy, and she's not sure which one is scarier. An adventurous knight whisks away genderfluid Noll when all they want is a quiet life on their farm. Mermaid Astrid wants revenge on the man who betrayed her, but is confused by her attraction to the one sailor immune to her song. Asexual Myka might love Princess Lysandria, but Myka must learn to control her inner werewolf before the king marries her off to "cure" her. With the help of a witch, blacksmith's apprentice Malcolm must find his missing prince. You've never heard stories like these at bedtime.
