8. Not One Damsel in Distress: World Folktales for Strong Girls by Jane Yolen

Oh! I may have to grab Not one Damsel in Distress: World Folktales for Strong Girls . It sounds like a book that I could get for all of my 'tween nieces next year for Christmas!

Did you like it? What ages would you recommend it for?

Thanks for writing Leslie!

I think it's perfect for tweens, but it's good for all ages, as well. The stories are all traditional stories from around the world, so they all have different types of morals and unusual endings.

For the older and more sarcastic fairy tale lover, I'd recommend Once Upon a More Enlightened Time by James Garner. They are all ULTRA-politically correct, hilarious re-tellings of traditional fairy tales. My favorite is "Sleeping Persun of Better Than Average Attractiveness."

How was Unaccustomed Earth? I loved her collection of short stories, wasn't terribly impressed with The Namesake? Did you think it was worth the read?

Hi Emily,
I didn't really connect with UE as much as the Namesake. I'm much more of a novel lover rather than short stories, and it was quite a downer. Regardless, it's received great reviews. Let me know what you think.
