The first book in this series, Grounded: The Adventures of Rapunzel, took Rapunzel from her tower and introduced her to the world of Tyme, a land of witches, fairies, and magic. ![]() Did I mention I found this in the children’s section? Not only are they some of the best revisionist fairy tales I’ve read, the book I picked up, Disenchanted: The Trials of Cinderella, was also centered on social justice and the ills of child labor. The back cover told me it was the second in a series, so I grabbed the first book, as well, and went home to see if they were any good. I didn’t have any other recommendations from friends or websites, so I ended up in the children’s section, picking out, somewhat at random, what looked like a fairy tale adventure with a Black protagonist.
