Hello! It’s been a while. School is starting soon, but if I have time, I’ll keep blogging. Today’s post is about Conceal Don’t Feel: A Twisted Tale by Jen Calonita. The Twisted Tales are really cool twists on classic fairy tales. In this, Jen Calonita explores what Arendelle would be like if Anna and Elsa didn’t know each other.
Elsa’s life as the future queen of Arendelle is filled with responsibility. She follows her parents, so that she can learn what it’s like to be a ruler. This means attending boring, awkward, political banquets and balls. All the while, she feels as though some important part of her is missing. When her parents are lost at sea, she becomes the queen of Arendelle much sooner than she thought. Is she ready for this responsibility? How can she rule her people wisely when she doesn’t even know the truth about herself?
This was a really enjoyable book that explored the fairy tale world in a completely different way. There are other Twisted Tales too that I can’t wait to read, such as Straight On Till Morning: A Twisted Tale (by Liz Braswell) that explores what the story would be like if Wendy first traveled to Never Land with Captain Hook. If you decide to check out some of these books, let me know what you think! Until next time.
Nora's Summer Reading 
What an intriguing premise! I’ve heard of some books that write about what would the world be like if Germany won WW2. I can’t bring myself to read it. But, I could read this! It sort of reminds me of another book I’ve always loved- “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs”. Fun to read! Thank you for the introduction to another interesting book!

I really liked “The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs” as well! It’s fun to think about how different stories would be from a different character’s perspective, or if one thing was changed.
