The Cottage in the Woods | Katherine Coville
3 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
For fans of Shannon Hale, Adam Gidwitz, and Michael Buckley comes a luminous new twist on a tale readers only thought they knew. . . Once upon a time, there was a girl with golden locks. But thats just the beginning of this tale. The real story begins with a bear. Ursula is a young she-bear who has come to work as a governess at the Vaughn estate. Although she is eager to instruct her young charge, Teddy, she is also frightened, especially when inexplicable things happen in the huge house after dark. Ursula is sure she has heard footsteps in the hallways at night, and that something is following her during her walks in the Enchanted Forest. Then there is Mr. Bentley, a young bear also employed by Mr. Vaughn, whose superior disposition is enough to drive Ursula to tears . . . and yet why does he also make her heart race? As Ursula works to unravel the mysteries of the Vaughn manor, she will have to be very, very careful. After all, true love, justice, and a girl with golden locks are at stake. And in the Enchanted Forest, not every fairy tale is destined for a happily ever after.

I liked almost every element of this book, so I'm not sure what my problem was...maybe the pieces just didn't match up well for me, or maybe it had something to do with the narrator. But for whatever reason, it took me two years to get through two-thirds of it, and I'm just tired of forcing myself. Disappointing. 😕

This is a retelling of Goldilocks and the Three Bears with some very interesting twists and some political themes about race and discrimination added. The premise is fascinating, but I'm unsure how I feel about the writing style. I'm less than halfway through, so not drawing any conclusions yet. #fairytaleretellings #photoadaynov16

New in paperback: COTTAGE IN THE WOODS is gorgeous, mysterious, slyly comic and just all-around wonderful, for 10+ (and grownups, too.) Think Jane Eyre meets the Three Bears. ❤️👧🐻🐻🐻❤️
