Gretchen and the Bear by Carrie Anne Noble
5.0
Anyone up for a sci-fi, fantasy, fairy tale? Gretchen and the Bear is just that book. It’s set in the future, New Earth 170 where Gretchen is sent by her stepmother to find her 18 year old sister Ruby who has taken off. Gretchen needs to watch out for faerie folk and their magic.
I’m always up for a retelling and this one has touches of a few fairy tales. There are bits of Goldilocks, The Three Bears, and Cinderella in this mash-up which makes it fun to come to parts that are retold. There may even be other fairy tales in there that I’m not familiar with. It made for a fun story with great world-building.
