Omschrijving

This is a magical modern retelling of an old fairytale – the exquisite text and illustrations work in perfect harmony

This is a magical modern retelling of an old fairytale – the exquisite text and illustrations work in perfect harmony

It’s critical what we read our kids ... Jessie Burton has very cleverly has taken a fairytale that was already standing and loved, but has reframed it. It’s asking you to think of yourself and value yourself in terms other than the way you look, and just that – that one tiny aspect of the book – alone, was, to me, just a complete revelation

A tale to read to your children (of both genders) over and over, and for them to read to theirs. It’s a book that glows

A beautifully realised, whirling adventure full of the dark glitter of growing up, The Restless Girls is a fierce fairytale for the rebel girl – and boy – generation

A story of love, loss, grief, and a desperate yearning for freedom, told with breathtaking compassion and wisdom

A riveting feminist retelling, filled with excitement, imagination, magic, and just the right touch of darkness. These twelve fierce heroines will be a pleasure to return to again and again

[Burton] fleshes out this traditional fairytale with personality ... Angela Barrett’s illustrations, meanwhile, add an exotic visual richness to Burton’s painterly descriptions of the princesses’ enchanted underworld

A feminist fairytale about finding one's inner lioness and about picking a battle very much worth fighting …This brilliant reimagining of Grimms’ tale The Twelve Dancing Princesses completely subverts the fairytale genre. Gone are insipid, demure ‘weaker sex’ princessy-princesses and enter feisty and passionate girls who trail-blaze their way into a better life ... This would be perfect for children in upper key stage 2 and would work well alongside our sequences for The Sleeper and The Spindle, The Lost Happy Endings and The Princess’ Blankets

I read The Restless Girls with my young niece and nephews. Long after they had fallen asleep, I was still reading ... Refreshing and empowering and utterly impossible to put down … An exciting and magical tale of joy, love and the courage of twelve girls to be wholly themselves
