Dark Shimmer by
Donna Jo Napoli, 353 pages
This is a retelling
of Snow White, which I didn’t realize until about 50 pages into the story. This was well done. The story is very different from the original
in that it’s set in Italy and there isn’t any actual royalty. We also get the complete backstory of the
“Evil Queen” which helps explain a lot of what happens. I would highly recommend this to teens who
like fairy tale retellings and fantasy in general, although teens who like
historical fiction would probably also enjoy it since there isn’t any magic in
the story either.
