Stardust
by
"I read this after seeing the movie. It's very well done and something new to the fairy tale universe. It does a great job of having cliche characters, as well as ones that break the mold. "

The Neverending Story
by
"One of my favorite movies, but the book (as usual) is a million times better, even though, unfortunately it does end. It's translated beautifully and is a perfect example of the capacity of imagination.

The Looking Glass Wars (The Looking Glass Wars, #1)
by
"A new spin on an obviously overdone topic, but it's so full of new information that it lets you forget sometimes, it also incorporates action and a female lead that is anything but helpless."

The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales
by
"Great kids book. I loved it when I was younger, not very girly, so it usually appeals to those boys who need fairy tales without the 'girlie' aspect."
