The Lunar Chronicles Series

by
(14 reviews)

The Lunar Chronicles will have fans aged 9+ reading at the edge of their seats as familiar fairy tales are revisited like never before! Classic folk tales we've all grown up watching and reading are mixed with a dash of steampunk and a hint of fantasy. 

Each book in this series covers a different fairy tale, and each fairy tale princess' story is intertwined with that of the next. 

Cinderella becomes Cinder, a gifted mechanic in New Beijing, who also happens to be a cyborg living with her evil stepmother. That is until she meets her prince charming, Prince Kai...

The Little Red Riding Hood becomes Scarlet, who only wants to find her missing grandmother. She turns to street fighter wolf, who she knows is dangerous, but is drawn to.

Rapunzel becomes Cress, an expert hacker incarcerated in a satellite, but then her path crosses with Cinder and Scarlet, and everything changes.

Snow White becomes Winter, and she's fallen in love with the palace guard. If only her stepmother, Queen Levana, let their love blossom. But there's more for this princess in store: once she meets Cinder and her allies, a revolution might just finally happen and they each might be able to finally claim their happily ever afters.

If one thing is sure, it's that the heroines in this series aren't your usual damsels in distress. And they all want their happily ever afters.

Including a prequel and a collection of short stories, this series is perfect for whenever readers want to read something nostalgic with a contemporary twist. And if you love Marissa Meyer and fairy tales, she's also written a retelling of the Queen of Hearts we've all heard of from Alice in Wonderland, called Heartless! She is also the author of the Renegades books. 

This series is perfect for fans of Cinderella is Dead, The Cursebreaker Series, Havenfall books and The Hazel Wood books.
