Fractured fairy tales aren’t just for girls, so make sure to hand these books to all your readers.

All of these choices have strong female characters and a healthy dose of magic and fantasy. They are also all coming of age stories with characters struggling to define themselves.

Some of these also have movies or shows which is a great opportunity to compare and contrast. The Princess Academy was a movie in 1987, The School for Good and Evil is a movie on Netflix and Keeper of the Lost Cities has one in production.

Apparently, movies and fractured fairy tales make a happily ever after.
