The Lunar Chronicles

By Marissa Meyer

Book 1 of the Lunar Chronicles

Overview: This series was so beautiful and entertaining. The futuristic twist is so creative and makes for a super entertaining read. Kids grades six and up will love reading this series. A few scenes with graphic violence and such, but overall the content is pretty tame.

What’s it about? Marissa Meyer takes four classic fairy tales and reimagines them in a dystopian future in which humans have colonized the moon. Each of these stories connects into a string of adventures to stop the Queen of the moon and save the Earth and everyone they love.

My thoughts: This series was so fun to read! This is one of those books where, by the end, you’re sad to put it down. It was interesting to think about all the counterparts of the stories we all knew as kids and how they fit into Marissa Meyer’s stories. The characters were all super lovable and fun, and they all had their own hopes and dreams that made them a lot more relatable than the characters from the fairy tales.
