Bewitching
by Alex Flinn
In this delightful re-telling of Cinderella with a twist, we meet Kendra, the witch - or fairy godmother - behind most of our beloved fairy tales, and Emma, the girl she is currently trying to help. Told in alternating voices between Kendra, Emma, and some of the people Kendra has tried to help, we learn that sometimes things don't always go the way we want, especially when there is magic involved. Similar to her previous novels, Alex Flinn has once again taken something that we thought we knew and changed it into something more. Bewitching is a fun tale, filled with misadventures in romance and characters you love to hate. The short stories that are interspersed can be distracting, especially when it interrupts Emma's story, but it's entertaining to see familiar tales from Kendra's perspective.
Rating: ★★★
