Clever and pithy children s classics turned upside down WINK is a true delight Evelyn Skye some good and some not so great I can honestly say that for me this is not the case with Wink I adored all the reimagining tales and winks back to classics Of course I had some ultimate favourites but that s the case here Sure there were a few that stood out to me but all of the tales in here are clever and worth a read Fair warning though Seanan McGuire s entry is a little different shall we say. Wink kinder tinder There are a lot of big names in here and they all did a good job at reimagining classic tales that most everyone already knows I had fun trying to guess the original story as I read and some of them stumped me until I read the answer at the end. Wink kindle direct All in all this was quite fun and I hope they do a volume two My thanks to NetGalley just like the authors who wrote them The genres all differ too from fantasy and horror to sci fi and romance The stories each one gives a wink too are easily recognised and many have a moral woven into them for the reader too The cover is what drew me to this book to begin with and it s a real gem of a book for anyone who loves old fairytales with a fresh vibe Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books Thanks to Brigids Gate Press for a copy of this collection to review It s available now This was a mixed bag for me I was lured in by the cover but with some exceptions I don t typically enjoy revisiting mainstream children s stories or movies These retellings at least put their inspirations through a modern or magical lens improving some of them The tones range from eerie to quirky and the voices range from a Goosebumps level middle grade vibe to higher YA I think the inconsistency in these aspects kind of put me off the cover kind of makes you think they ll all be dark and creepy My favorite was The Scent of Cotton Candy the Mary Poppins retelling by Leah Cypess who has written some good YA fantasy I also enjoyed Its eerie unsettling mood evoked almost a Turn of the Screw vibe but it also enunciated the Brownie fae like aspects of Mary Poppins that I never realized until now It was one of the grave eerie stories so I definitely gravitated towards it. Winky music online The Velveteen Rabbit inspired Waii Chan and Sparklepony by Nancy Holder was a strange tale that you ll probably enjoy if like me you assigned feelings and sentience to your stuffed animals and toys The final story Best Served Cold by David Gerold was an excellent vengefully feminist take on The Snow Queen definitely on the adult and dark end of these stories. Winkowski deck I really enjoyed some of these stories and my rating is about three and a half rounded down for what I didn t Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books Fun collection of short stories that wink at classics Aimed towards young adults A couple stories gave me feelings of Black Mirror vibes Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books

It s always a challenge to review a collection of short stories especially when they re so very different from each other as these are The theme of the collection is like fractured fairy tales but based on modern children s fiction instead The collection includes fantasy sci fi horror and fairy tale style short stories inspired by tales like The Wizard of Oz Mary Poppins and Black Beauty among many others I certainly had favorites among them like all collected works some just hit me than others and my favorites will likely not be yours That s the joy of short stories I laughed I teared up I was horrified this collection is a pleasant way to pass an afternoon I can imagine they d be fun to read aloud as well should you have the opportunity to share stories with others Thanks to NetGalley and Brigids Street Press for the opportunity to read and review this ARC Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books 3. Wink kindle direct 5 stars rounded upLike all anthologies this is a bit of a mixed bag There are some stand outs Seanan McGuire s absolutely terrifying entry in particular but I also loved The Fastest Horse in the World The Scent of Cotton Candy and Waii Chan and Sparklepony some duds particularly Other Earth which was extremely simplistic and featured a rushed enemies to lovers romance starring the Lorax and the Onceler as human teenagers My Science Project which was just trying to do too much all at once and Precious Treasure which read younger and less sophisticated than its source material and a lot of pleasant middle of the road stuff There will definitely be something in there for every reader and it s a pleasant quick read Definitely recommended if you enjoy retellings I did what I always doI clicked on the request button despite not being familiar with a number of the tales that inspired these ones keep in mind I m from Italy Then I got afraid this would dampen my appreciation of these stories so when the publisher approved my request I went and looked up the originals online It turned out that regardless of my familiarity with the source material I might not be the best fit for this book Also please note I didn t read Wulf Moon s story because high fantasy is not my jam and that include the tale it winks atThe Hobbit that I ve never read nor I have any desire to. Epub windows reader Most of these stories are on the shorter side and some feel a bit incomplete or end a tad too abruptly for my taste Some of them I found to be a tad simplistic in style Follow the Shattered Brick Road though it s a nice exploration of grief scope My Science Project though it s amusing or resolution Other Earth though I appreciated the environmental sensibility My favourite ones include The Scent of Cotton Candy a darker rendition of Mary Poppins with an interesting sibling dynamic Waii Chan and Sparklepony a tale of toys becoming alive out of love on the backdrop of innocence lost with a vein of philosophy and of course Specials by Seanan McGuire unsurprisingly the darkest and most satirical of the bunch taking a jab at the adults hypocrisy and their counterintuitive capacity to create monsters All in all these stories were a mixed bag for me but my bar for anthologies is especially high so I recommend that you read a range of reviews before you decide if this collection is for you. Wink e books Note definitive review I don t have enough to say to justify writing a full length one later and of course I don t plan to reread this book also due to time commitments I ve decided not to write full length reviews any for short stories novellas and anthologies except in special cases or unless they re part of a series Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books What a fantastic little book of reimagined childhood classics tales that have been rewritten for Young Adult audiences. Winkler Each short story is very well written and not one lets the book down in my opinion They are creative sometimes dark and many are emotive to keep their readers engaged and interested. Winknews.com fort myers I though the Introduction to the book was brilliant as it explained the concept of winking where this book was concerned so I was able to exactly what the authors and Henry were attempting to do and they do it very very well. Winky music online A highly enjoyable collection of short stories that are fantastic for all Wink Young Adult Tales that Wink at Classic Children s Books Anthologies are always difficult to rate given they typically vary wildly in both quality of stories and ability for the reader to connect to all most of the stories With that said Wink may be the best anthology I ve ever read. Wink emoji This wonderful collection of stories is a trippy wander down memory lane full of science fiction and fantasy goodies nods to feminism shocking twists and feel good moments The illustrations were also incredibly fun and entertaining The Fastest Horse in the World by Kendare BlakeTale it winks at Black Beauty by Anna SewellPremise AI is taking over jockeys and horses. Wink emoji Thoughts Honestly I ve never read Black Beauty but I do know the basics Written from the main horse s point of view we first see horses being raced using AI jockeys and at the end seeing AI horses being introduced While the concept was interesting the story did not grip me as I believe it was intended to It was fine but not really my speed I probably wouldn t read a full story about this. Winknews.com fort myers L TraversPremise Now older Julia is begrudgingly brought in to help her brother Matt track down Nanny Margaret Why are they tracking her Because she is snatching children of course They just happened to get away Thoughts This was absolutely hilarious I loved Julia s internal monologues that left me in stitches as well as Matt s craziness driving him to find Nanny Margaret The idea of someone with Mary Poppins s abilities caring for and then snatching children away is entirely eerie and something I was definitely sucked into Where can I read of this Rating 5 stars Waii Chan and Sparklepony by Nancy HolderTale it winks at The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery WilliamsPremise Toys having existential crises about if they are part of a video game their owner designed or if they are real toys No scarlet fever like in The Velveteen Rabbit but there is espionage for a competition for a technology based internship. Book winkle Thoughts This was enjoyable but it was definitely closer to the tale it winked at than others in the collection The ending was a little confusing to me as I tried to piece together what caused the transformation much like the fairy in the original Was it being put in the video game that did it I think so but the story was a bit fuzzy about this causation. Wink scrubs Rating 4 stars The Monster at the End of this Story by Althea KontisTale it winks at The Monster at the End of this Book Starring Loveable Furry Old Grover by Jon StonePremise Monster children go to a summer camp in which they beg the counselor to tell them scary stories about the monster at the campsite While being told many stories throughout their stay while all the while creating memories of their own each story has a resolution except the last The overall theme of the story is that memories fade with time as we all get older. Wink pdf editor Thoughts I very much enjoyed this I haven t read the book about Grover but my son plays this game quite often on the PBS Kids app so I kept thinking about him while I read it which was fun This reminded me of Lumberjanes meets the summer camp from Addams Family Values meets monsters which are all things I love The pacing was also great I would definitely read a longer version of this Rating 5 stars My Science Project by Henry HerzTale it winks at Frog and Toad by Arnold LobelPremise A high school science nerd obsessed with aliens and space is contacted by actual aliens because they ran the data and he has the lowest chance of spilling the beans on their existence They want him to answer questions they don t understand about humans like why they resist sleep in favor of social media why they use idioms when they make communication confusing etc In exchange for this they offer him help with his science fair project Of course these frogs are Frog and Toad from their self titled books Thoughts I absolutely adored this story It was cute it was quirky and it was a super enjoyable read for someone like myself who is a sarcastic science fiction and pop culture lover. Wink book pdf Rating 5 stars Tabula by Henry NeffTale it winks at Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett JohnsonPremise A high schooler finds that there is the existence of another plane dimension running alongside the current Earth time plane and tells her teacher about it While dismissing her ideas as ludicrous he is also stealing them to present as his own. Pdf winkel messen Thoughts I liked this take on Harold and the Purple Crayon especially with its feminist take by making the MC female whose findings were being claimed by a man sound historically familiar It did seem to drag a bit at parts thus I ve reduced my rating a bit. Winknews.com fort myers Rating 4 stars Special by Seanan McGuireTale it winks at The Rainbow Fish by Marcus PfisterPremise A child walks us through their thought process of what adults say is bad how bad can be excused for various reasons for example if you are a musical prodigy and why adults live up to the Do as I say not as I do adage. Wink weather Thoughts Oh boy this one was intense I believe our MC was neurodivergent which I applaud the representation I also liked the overall thinking the character had about how adults tell kids to do one thing and then do another what constitutes as bad behavior and how the special you are or desirable traits you have the you can be bad and no one cares This hits on so many levels and is brilliantly executed through the mind of a neurodivergent child. Kindle wick candles The twist that the story takes from a child s internal ramblings to an all out horror story was fantastically done and utterly shocking I loved every minute of it Rating 5 stars Final Ella by James AquiloneTale it winks at Alice s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis CarrollPremise Alice in Wonderland with a kidnapping Mad Hatter who traps girls in another dimension aka Wonderland Thoughts This was an interesting take on the story but I ve read a lot of Alice in Wonderland inspired tales and this was not my favorite Still well written and an interesting plot. Ebook inkling 5 stars Other Earth by Stacia DeutschTale it winks at The Lorax by Dr SeussPremise A group of individuals scientists doctors etc live in an environmentally sensitive bubble with others being evacuated from Earth since Earth is expected to die and not sustain life at some point soon due to pollution and other environmentally unsafe practices Larissa is a Botany lab tech who is in charge is creating a new sustainable ecosystem of trees streams etc. Wink kindle books while Oliver her friend s brother is in charge of getting people evacuated and set up in their bubble Oliver proposes chopping down her trees to make room for people but she shows him how much trees can offer helping him to hatch a new plan Thoughts Oh my gods Oh my gods Oh my gods This was not only a women in STEM story but it had everything to make it an enemies to lovers friend s older brother romance Fans of Ali Hazelwood would completely adore this one I would totally read this as a full book and I need it STAT Rating 5 stars Chloe s Cabin by Tara GilboyTale it winks at Little House on the Prairie by Laura Ingalls WilderPremise Aliens have come to Earth but aren t doing anything but hovering in spacecrafts People are freaking out and starting to blame NASA the government and each other Looting is starting cities are burning and none of it is the aliens doing. Wink weather During this time a family evacuates to a cabin off the grid where the FMC learns how to do things like shoot a gun for self defense hunt etc Eventually the aliens leave because humans are acting so terribly and the family is able to move back to the city but she ll never forget what she learned. Wink emoji Thoughts I have never read or watched anything to do with Little House on the Prairie but from online summaries I found the premise seems similar enough to the original I liked how the FMC embraced the new life her stepfather had created for their family and how she didn t take what he offered them for granted I also enjoyed that she wanted to get out and learn how to do all the things he was doing and that he taught her Definitely had a touch of feminism I enjoyed. Wink weather Rating 4 stars Doc s Lucky Day at the Dump by Alex ShvartsmanTale it winks at Doctor Doolittle by Hugh LoftingPremise Doctor Doolittle but with AI mods The Doc finds mods fixes them up and places them with new owners on a typical day However our story leads the Doctor to find a most peculiar mod reminiscent of a real boy. Winkowski deck Thoughts This is the only time in my life I ve thanked the gods for Eddie Murphy as I actually knew the story this was based on because of that terrible movie he was in On another note I knew I was going to love this from the beginning since it was by the amazing Alex Shvartsman Doc was an incredibly loveable character always acting in the best interest of others sometimes to his own detriment He was incredibly smart and a character I openly rooted for I also adored his sidekick I found this story completely heartwarming and I actually awwww d at the ending.

Winknews.com fort myers Thoughts For this story and the last I feel like if you re going to take a classic you have to knock it out of the park these were just meh I did enjoy the grim twist at the end of this one though.
