LoveReading4Kids Says

There’s some chilling stuff in the ten pithy stories in this collection. Thoroughly modern in their telling, they take their themes from Hans Christian Andersen’s classic stories. Love, hate, pity, jealousy – emotions which underpin Andersen’s so-called nursery classics, figure especially large in teenagers’ lives and are played out in stories such as Swan in which Katie discovers that far from being a geek her younger sister has grown to be far more beautiful than she is herself.. There’s a slick ease to storytelling and the effects are thought-provoking.
