The Fractured Fairy Tales series updates “once upon a time” to “now.” From Cinderella to Sleeping Beauty, each story celebrates the actions of boys and girls—actions that can have their own kind of magic.

Maud may be made of gingerbread—plus a spark of magic—but she’s a real witch! Even if she’s still learning, and has a habit of making messes…and might have accidentally unleashed the hundred-year-old Class IV sleeping curse that envelops a princess’s bramble-covered castle. Oops. Maud has her friends Gretel, Ludo, and Nuss the hazelnut mousse squirrel to help her fix this. But it won’t be easy to find the sleeping princess’s true love, and the curse might end up being the least of their problems…

Two farm girls that live in the middle of the forest befriend a mysterious man in a bearskin that guards secret treasures. The resulting fairy tale comes with magic, adventures, pure love, friendly animals, perils and even an angel and an ungrateful dwarf, against the historical and cruel backdrop of war and its evils. Set in the 18th century, this new story is based upon two classic tales from the Brothers Grimm: "Snow White and Rose Red" and "Bearskin".

Times are changing at Fairy Tale Reform School. At least that's what Gilly's heard. Rumor is that notorious trickster Rumpelstiltskin has taken over management from Headmistress Flora, and he's locked down the school tighter than the Pied Piper's pants. Not that this news concerns Gilly - she's been released from FTRS and is now suffering through attending Jack of All Trades School, where she gets to learn about different kinds of shoe leather and ways to measure feet (truly riveting stuff!).

With the help of her friends, Zita follows her bewitched sisters into a magical world of endless dancing and dreams.

Twelve-year-old Aksel doesn’t want to be different, he doesn’t want fingers that glow with ice, doesn’t want powers that freeze whatever he touches. He’s terrified of being found out, or worse—hurting someone with powers he can’t control. But when a strange illness overtakes his town and claims those he loves, Aksel has to face more than just coming to terms with his strange abilities. With the help of his younger sister, Cathrine, and some unexpected friends, he must journey to the tip of the mountain and go find The Snow Queen who is believed to be responsible for the curse.
