Fantastic series on display in our teen area today: The Princesses of Westfalin trilogy by Jessica Day George and the Burn for Burn trilogy by Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian. The first is a middle grade series of fairy tale retellings starring clever and beautiful princesses who must find a way to escape a curse that not only threatens their family, but the very realm. The second is a story of bullying, friendship, and shocking surprises for older high schoolers. How far will these girls go to defend a friendship, exact revenge, and save a life?
