A Whole New World is the first book in the series and the latest book So This is Love asks what would happen if Cinderella never tried on the glass slipper?ĭespite the new, darker stories, the books still retain the essential elements of love, passion, friendship, magic.Love Disney Animated movies but wonder what it would be like if the stories were twisted just enough to see if our favorite princesses and characters still saved the day? Then you will love the Twisted Tales series by Disney-Hyperion. You can read the six stand-alone stories in any order, so pick your favourite heroine and discover her twisted tale. Don’t expect a sweet fairy story though – there is plenty of violence and grit and the graphic descriptions and adult themes mean we recommend these Disney novels for young adults from 12 onwards. These thought-provoking fantasy tales are not just for those of us who grew up loving Disney, anyone who loves drama, dragons and fantasy will adore the dark and dreamy stories in these books. Romance makes way for enchantment, action and violence as the heroines fight for their happy endings and all is not what it seems. Written by three popular YA authors - Liz Braswell, Jen Calonita and Elizabeth Lim - who all love fantasy and fairy-tales, the Twisted Tale series has the magic of the Disney films but with dark and creepy twists. What if Aladdin had never found the lamp, Sleeping Beauty had never woken up or the Sea Witch had never defeated the Little Mermaid? Would Jasmine and Aladdin turn freedom fighters against oppressive Jafar? Could Aurora find a way to control her dreams and defeat Maleficent? And would Ariel be able to return to a world she never thought she’d see again, overthrow the villain and win back her voice? Disney's Twisted Tales take our favourite heroines: Ariel, Belle, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Mulan and Princess Jasmine and imagines a very different story unfolding for each of them. Have you ever found yourself wondering about the back story behind your favourite Disney heroines? What if things weren’t really as they seemed? This series that turns the classic fairy-tales on their heads is a must for Disney fans and a delight for all Young Adult readers.
