#1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn is back with magical twists on four fairy-tale favorites, each featuring a little help from Kendra, the witch from Beastly, as she searches through cities and centuries for her lost love. Now available in paperback and featuring retellings of favorite fairy tales such as "Little Red Riding Hood," "Rumpelstiltskin," "East of the Sun and West of the Moon," and "The Ugly Duckling," Kendra’s adventures in Beheld are filled with fresh fairy-tale fun from beginning to end. Since she first beheld James over three hundred years ago, Kendra has tangled with witch hunters and wolves, helped a miller’s daughter spin straw into gold, cowered in London as German bombs fell, and lived through who knows how many shipwrecks. But her powers have limits, and immortality can be lonely. Kendra isn’t ready to stop searching for the warlock she met centuries ago. With the help of her magic mirror, Kendra will travel the world to reconnect with her lost love—and, of course, she can’t help but play a hand in a few more stories along the way.
In #1 New York Times bestselling author Alex Flinn’s modern and mysterious YA retelling of “Snow White,” beauty is in the eye of the beholder and true love doesn’t necessarily mean Prince Charming. Celine’s life is the stuff fairy tales are made of. She’s beautiful, talented, and brave. Unfortunately, her tale comes complete with a wicked stepmother! When Violet steps into Celine’s life, everything changes and weird things begin to happen to her—bizarre accidents, strange illnesses, and rabid animal attacks. Celine doesn’t feel safe anywhere. It’s almost as if some hateful witch is out to get her. And there is. Violet has been waiting all her life to have Celine’s father to herself. Getting rid of his gorgeous daughter is child’s play for a witch as powerful as she is. Happy-ever-after isn’t enough for Violet. She wants to be the fairest of them all, and Celine is in the way . . . but not for long. Forced to take refuge with her friend Goose and his family, Celine gives up everything she loves and goes deep undercover. But will it be enough to fool Violet or will Celine’s fate be decided by a reflection in a magic mirror? And where do you find Prince Charming in Miami anyway? Mirrored is a modern retelling of “Snow White”—told from the points of view of Violet, Celine, and Goose—with all the magic and mystery readers will love.
Nastupuju zrovna do nové školy a nikdo z mých spolužáků ani učitelů netuší, že jsem ji měla absolvovat už dávno. Netvrdnu tady, protože jsem hloupá, já prostě nestárnu. Jsem totiž nesmrtelná. A vzhledem ke svým schopnostem chci ostatním pomáhat. Ne vždycky to ale vyjde. Jenže právě teď potřebuje moji pomoc dívka jménem Emma…
In this engaging tale, an immortal girl navigates her new school while grappling with her powers and past mistakes. Despite her vast knowledge, her well-intentioned attempts to help often lead to chaos, from a failed rescue of children to a disastrous matchmaking attempt with a French prince.
I’m not your average hero. I actually wasn’t your average anything. Just a poor guy working an after-school job at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help his mom make ends meet. But a little magic changed it all. It all started with the curse. And the frognapping. And one hot-looking princess, who asked me to lead a rescue mission. There wasn’t a fairy godmother or any of that. And even though I fell in love along the way, what happened to me is unlike any fairy tale I’ve ever heard. Because before I knew it, I was spying with a flock of enchanted swans, talking (yes, talking!) to a fox named Todd, and nearly trampled by giants in the Keys. Don’t believe me? I didn’t believe it either. But you’ll see. Because I knew it all was true, the second I got cloaked.
Talia fell under a spell. . . . Jack broke the curse. I was told to beware the accursed spindle, but it was so enchanting, so hypnotic. . . . I was looking for a little adventure the day I ditched my tour group. But finding a comatose town, with a hot-looking chick asleep in it, was so not what I had in mind. I awakened in the same place but in another time—to a stranger's soft kiss. I couldn't help kissing her. Sometimes you just have to kiss someone. I didn't know this would happen. Now I am in dire trouble because my father, the king, says I have brought ruin upon our country. I have no choice but to run away with this commoner! Now I'm stuck with a bratty princess and a trunk full of her jewels. . . . The good news: My parents will freak! Think you have dating issues? Try locking lips with a snoozing stunner who turns out to be 316 years old. Can a kiss transcend all—even time?
Jsem netvor.
Zvíře. Ne vlk nebo medvěd, gorila nebo pes, ale odporná stvůra, která chodí vzpřímeně. Jsem zrůda.
Myslíte si, že vám vyprávím pohádky? Mýlíte se. Vše je skutečné. Místo - New York City. Čas - současnost. Nejsem znetvořený, není to nemoc. Budu takový navždy, jestli neprolomím kletbu.
Ano, kletbu, kterou na mě uvrhla ve škole čarodějka. Proč mě proměnila v netvora, který se ve dne skrývá a v noci se vydává na lov? Řeknu vám to. Řeknu vám, jak jsem byl Kylem Kingsburym, klukem, jakým byste si přáli být, s penězi, perfektním vzhledem a perfektním životem. A potom vám řeknu, jak jsem se stal perfektním… netvorem.

Někdy se blog stane tím jediným místem, kde se můžete bez obav svěřit se vším, co vás trápí. Tak to aspoň dělám já. Podle ostatních jsem prý skvělá, talentovaná, prostě okouzlující, ale já si tak rozhodně nepřipadám, spíš naopak. Jsem průměrná roztleskávačka, která má za sebou totálně nepovedený vztah s klukem, co lítal z problému do problému. Navíc ty moje věčné diety končící pokaždé stejně – jojo efektem. A pak se to stalo – dostala jsem se na vysněnou uměleckou střední v Miami! Všechno se může změnit k lepšímu, ale jak mám přesvědčit svou matku, že zpívání je to jediné, co mě v životě opravdu baví?
