For fairy-tale fans who want sharper edges

This feels like a portal fantasy with a wonderfully bookish twist: a girl obsessed with a story suddenly has to survive inside it. It has that satisfying mix of magic, danger, and self-aware humor, while also poking at the cracks in classic fairy tales. If you like adventurous heroines, familiar legends turned darker, and stories that feel both clever and heartfelt, this is an easy one to fall into.

Description

Nothing ever happens in Filomena Jefferson-Cho's sleepy suburban town of North Pasadena. The sun shines every day, the grass is always a perfect green, and while her progressive school swears there's no such thing as bullying, she still feels bummed out. But one day, when Filomena is walking home alone, something strange happens: Filomena is being followed by Jack Stalker, one of the heroes in The Thirteenth Fairy, a series she loves about a brave girl and her ragtag group of friends who save their world from an evil enchantress. He insists the stories are real, and Filomena must come with him at once. Soon, Filomena is thrust into the world of evil fairies and beautiful princesses, sorcerers and slayers, where an evil queen drives her ruthless armies to destroy what is left of the Fairy tribes. To save herself and the kingdom of Westphalia, Filomena must find the truth behind the fairytales and set the world right before the cycle of sleep and destruction begins once more.
