Summary

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Chris Colfer comes a graphic novel in the Land of Stories series featuring Goldilocks—as you've never seen her before!

When we first meet her in The Land of Stories:The Wishing Spell, Goldilocks is a beautiful and tough-as-nails outlaw。 Discover her origin story and more in this brand new, lushly illustrated full-color graphic novel, as she takes you on adventures where she may or may not break a few laws along the way。

Once upon a time, the kingdoms of the fairy-tale world lived in perfect harmony under the guidance of the Happily Ever After Assembly。 But not all creatures and territories have been invited to this peaceful union。 Monsters and criminals have found refuge in the Dwarf Forests, a land without rulers or law。 When a plot by the Charming brothers is unveiled and threatens to push society's unwanted from their homes, the fairy-tale world's harmony and Goldilocks' home are put in jeopardy 。 。 。

New and returning fans of the Land of Stories will fall in love with the adventures of Goldilocks before she met Alex and Conner Bailey。 Fans will recognize familiar characters including Porridge, Jack, and Queen Red Riding Hood; and a ragtag team of misfits is introduced, including Puss in Boots, Little Miss Muffet, Pinocchio, and more。

Great adaptation of the classic fairy tale。 The graphic novel format makes it even better。 Thank you, Hachette Book Group for an ARC of this delightful book。 Can’t wait to share it with my students as soon as it is published!

Chris Colfer’s Land of Stories began weaving new elements into classic fairy tales since the release of The Wishing Spell in 2012。 Now, Colfer teams up with graphic artist Jon Proctor with an origin story starring Goldilocks along with Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, their husbands/consorts and other fairy tale staples including Rapunzel and Jack (of the beanstalk)。 There is depth to the story told and readers will have to do much more than simply look at the art panels to follow th Chris Colfer’s Land of Stories began weaving new elements into classic fairy tales since the release of The Wishing Spell in 2012。 Now, Colfer teams up with graphic artist Jon Proctor with an origin story starring Goldilocks along with Snow White, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty, their husbands/consorts and other fairy tale staples including Rapunzel and Jack (of the beanstalk)。 There is depth to the story told and readers will have to do much more than simply look at the art panels to follow the tale that presents Goldilocks as a strong, capable woman who was wronged by those bears so many years ago and now has teamed up with Puss in Boots to wreck a plan to take over the Dwarf Forests。 Target audience for this graphic novel is grade 5-8 and while students younger may be drawn to the art and the idea of swords, kings/queens, and castles, the vocabulary and intricate plot may be a bit challenging。 Content note: sword violence and talk of executing criminals present, but no blood or gore; no profanity or sexual content。 Thanks for the ARC, Little Brown for Young Readers。 。。。more
