Girls
by Annet Schaap & translated by Laura Watkinson
Now in English: retellings of seven classic fairy tales by one of the Netherlands’ most original contemporary writers. These stories are true to life: the girls in them have agency, and there is no ‘happily ever after’. Witty, dark and imaginative, these tales form a fabulous collection. With black and white illustrations by the author.
Ages 9-12, and parents will enjoy it too

Best Kids’ Books of 2023
2023 has been a particularly strong year for eye-catching and engaging children’s nonfiction, but as usual our list is dominated by novels for middle grade readers (8-12 year olds). We have also made sure to include plenty of excellent picture books for younger readers, as well as some graphic novels.
